Astronomy is one of the fundamental sciences that studies celestial objects. Scientists of the past relied on their eyes as the main source of information, while modern astronomers use radio telescopes to perceive frequencies outside of the visible range. The data such telescopes produce is both complex and huge in size. As a result, it is practically impossible to analyze this amount of data manually without using the calculating powers of computers. The aim of the work is to develop a program that could help scientists at the Pushchino Observatory in the search for pulsars - extremely important and valuable celestial objects.
