Radio Observations of Pulsars

来自“太阳星”的无线电脉冲的时间已经变得重要， 物理学和天文学的许多领域，包括 时间保持标准，检测和测量 引力辐射的影响， 中子星的外壳，以及对中子星如何 出生，“重生”，并随着时间的推移而发展。 校长 研究者（PI）被广泛认为是小组的负责人， 许多关于脉冲星脉冲计时的最精确的工作。 他建议使用改进的设备继续进行这些观测 他在阿雷西博和绿色银行无线电观测站设计的。 预计这项工作将继续是最重要的工作之一， 将观测天体物理学与 广义相对论

The timing of radio pulses from "pulsars" has become important to a number of areas in physics and astronomy, including the integrity of time-keeping standards, the detection and measurement of the effects of gravitational radiation, the measurement of shifts of the crusts of neutron stars, and the understanding of how pulsars are born, "reborn," and evolve with time. The Principal Investigator (PI) is widely regarded as heading the group doing much of the most precise work on the timing of pulsar pulses. He proposes to continue these observations using improved equipment that he has designed at Arecibo and Green Bank radio observatories. It is expected that this work will continue to be among the most fundamental in linking observational astrophysics and tests of General Relativity.
