The International Pulsar Symposium 2024
会议信息LocationChina-GuiyangMeeting Date2024-12-12 - 2024-12-17Meeting Language中文Short NameThemeMore than 3500 pulsars have been discovered over more than half a century, with different manifestations detected by different technologies and telescopes. They have been observed over a wide electromagnetic wave range, from long-wavelength radio bands to high-energy gamma-rays. Significant progress has been made in understanding the observed radiation and possible geometries of emission regions, particle acceleration and radiation propagation in the neutron star magnetosphere, the state of matter and internal structure of the neutron stars or quark stars, the subtle effects of general relativity and relativistic gravitation theories probed by the exquisitely stable pulse periods, and the properties of the interstellar and intergalactic medium probed by polarized pulses. In addition to the continuing long-term science contributions from the Arecibo telescope (before it collapsed), the Green Bank Telescope (GBT), the Effelsberg 100m telescope, the Parkes 64m telescope, the GMRT, and also the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, there have been remarkable achievements on pulsar discoveries and other related pulsar physics in recent years made by the newly built telescopes, such as FAST, LOFAR, MeerKAT, and the Russian Large Phased Array. In recent years, few international conferences have focused on pulsar physics. Therefore, it is a good time to have a specific international pulsar conference allowing a gathering of pulsar astronomers from all over the world, to discuss the current situation of pulsar observations and our present understanding of pulsar physics. During the conference, a special excursion will be organized to see the giant radio telescope for pulsar science, FAST.Tag编号442
