Profile (from EPN)	Name	Sounds	Comments
	B0531+21 (The Crab) P = 0.033 s	B0531+21_430MHz.wav B0531+21_430MHz_FFT.wav B0531+21_1170MHz.wav B0531+21_1170MHz_FFT.wav	The Crab pulsar emits giant pulses, which are easily audible in the .wav files. The FFT.wav files bring out the periodic emission.
	B0540+23 P = 0.246 s	B0540+23_ALFA_FFT.wav	A weaker pulsar, you can just hear its "thumping" amid the noise.
	B1933+16 P = 0.359 s	B1933+16_ALFA.wav	One of the brightest known pulsars--every pulse is audible.
	B1937+21 (Original MSP) P = 0.00156 s	B1937+21_1475MHz.wav B1937+21_1475MHz_FFT.wav	Because of its extremely short period, this pulsar is audible as a tone. Can you discern the same tone in both sound files?
	B2020+28 P = 0.343 s	B2020+28_1475MHz.wav B2020+28_1475MHz_RFI.wav B2020+28_1475MHz_FFT.wav	A bright pulsar, most individual pulses are audible. There is also some RFI near the end of the second sound file.
