The CHIME All-sky Multiday Pulsar Stacking Search (CHAMPSS) project is a new radio survey that scans the Northern Sky daily to detect faint and intermittent pulsars by stacking long-term data.

Why it matters: CHAMPSS improves detection of faint and highly intermittent pulsars missed by traditional surveys.

The big picture: It uses CHIME’s high-resolution data and tracking beams combined with daily stacking for enhanced sensitivity.

Stunning stat: CHAMPSS discovered eleven new pulsars in just two months surveying about 1/16 of the sky.

Quick takeaway: With over a year of data stacking, CHAMPSS will reach sensitivities below 30 microJansky for much of the Northern Sky.
