This is part of a collaborative project to search for low-frequency narrowly beamed, highly circular polarized radio emission from "hot Jupiter" extrasolar planets, as part of the HJUDE project. This emission is predicted to be bright enough to be detected by the newly commissioned LWA1 (Long Wavelength Array) radio telescope, and thus the detections (or upper limits) will be used to test planetary magnetospheric physics models. As part of the project, the PIs will train undergraduate and graduate students and a postdoctoral researcher in instrumentation, computational expertise and data reduction and analysis techniques. They will also make the software spectrometer available to other scientists in the community.

这是一个协作项目的一部分，旨在寻找从“热木星”外行星的低频，高度圆形的极化无线电发射，这是Hjude项目的一部分。 预计这种发射足够明亮，可以被新委托的LWA1（长波长阵列）射电望远镜检测到，因此将使用检测（或上限）来测试行星磁层物理学模型。 作为该项目的一部分，PI将培训本科生和研究生，以及仪器，计算专业知识和数据减少和分析技术的博士后研究员。 它们还将使社区其他科学家提供软件光谱仪。
