Gaussian Candidate Notes: - This series of JPGs were collected as I was busy with other tasks. They were reviewed the next morning and this set of lines were found. They deserve more investigation.
- The signal is directional - When I move the antenna it gains and looses strength, but it is not focused in the antenna beam width. I can swing the antenna and find it in several spots.
- When the signal appeared in Frame 10 it was because the chirp algorithm caught up with the current frequency and moved the receiver up 100 Hz to where the signal was seen.
- Frame 4 (below) does have an interesting structure but I cannot reproduce it.
- The signal was invalidated. It appears to be a bird from the receiver itself.
| These JPG's can be downloaded and viewed with any JPG tool by clicking on the thumbnail and then right clicking the image and selecting 'Save Picture As...' To view the embedded SML that identifies the pointing angles, receiver frequency, time, etc. you must use the SETI Net File Manager |
 Frame 10 Carrier appears
This signal started in the middle Frame 10 and continued to Frame 17. It is very near a receiver even number ( 1,420,002,900) so it could be an artifact of the receiver changing frequency.  Frame 14 Carrier jump
At frame 14 the carrier seemed to jump frequency. This may have been my Doppler chirp function kicking in. Unfortunately I don't have the Chirp function indicator automatically saving into the SML yet. I have to add that and the BPF indicator.  Frame 17 - Strong carrier came and went
 Frame 4 -Interesting 'structure'
This JPG shows and interesting structure that is very hard to see. For some reason the only tool that I have that can see it is the SETI Net File Manager (download here). The structure looks like a trench in the background noise. It is about 1/3 from the top and in the right 1/3 of the picture. I have the original WAV file so I'll go back and look at again. I will also stare at that point some more. |
