ASTRA synthetic gating demo (preprint + reproducibility package)

ASTRA synthetic gating demo (v5) is a synthetic, fixed-seed demonstration of how an amplitude-based gating (preprocessing) step can suppress a short burst-like transient before downstream scoring, and how to audit that effect with fully reproducible artifacts. Motivating context: this synthetic demonstration was inspired by the reported micro-glitch candidate in PSR J0900–3144 (Bhat et al. , 2025) ; no detector data are analyzed here and no detection is claimed. This deposit is method-focused: it does not contain proprietary detector data and it does not claim any astrophysical detection. The goal is to provide a transparent, citable reference implementation and an audited reproduction package.
