Description

This open share repository contains some of the raw and processed data used for the publication:
"Discovery of 26 new Galactic radio transients by MeerTRAP", Turner et al. 2025, accepted for publication in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society

The raw data are stored in SIGPROC (https://sigproc.sourceforge.net/) filterbank format, and were collected by MeerTRAP. The data collection process has been described in Turner et al. 2025 and previous MeerTRAP publications.

The data correspond to every pulse MeerTRAP detected of these sources up to 25 July 2024. This includes all data for simultaneous multibeam detections.

The processed dynamic spectra and profiles of the discovery pulses are given, accompanied by information about their reduction.

If you make use of this data, please use the citation provided, and we kindly request you reference our paper Turner et al. 2025, MNRAS (DOI: 10.1093/mnras/staf098)

Also, the Python script used to generate the P-Pdot diagram is provided.
