The High Time Resolution Universe Survey (HTRU) is a radio survey to identify pulsars and fast radio bursts (FRBs). Surveying began around 2010. The northern hemisphere is covered by HTRU-North (HTRU-N) carried out with the Effelsberg 100-m Radio Telescope, and the southern-hemisphere portion (HTRU-South, HTRU-S) by Parkes Observatory. The southern part is divided by galactic latitude, that for the region centered on the galactic plane termed the HTRU-South low-latitude survey (HTRU-S LL). Hundreds of pulsars have been discovered.
