Introduction

TransientX is a high performance software package for searching for radio transient. The input data format can be sigproc filterband or psrfits.

Tools

There are two tools currently implemented in TransientX:

transientx_fil

A single pulse search pipeline which can be run with a single command line. The pipeline include

• Preprocess
• RFI mitigation
• Dedispersion
• Matched filtering
• Clustering
• Candidate plotting

It produces candidate plots in PNG format and generates a candidate list. A diagram illustrating the pipeline is shown in Pipeline. The options are described in detail in the usage/transientx_fil.

replot_fil

A tool to reprocess candidates generated by transientx_fil. It removes duplicate and bad candidates based on multiple criteria, and can generate archive files for further analysis. A diagram illustrating the pipeline is shown in Pipeline. The options are introduced in detail in the usage/replot_fil.
