ABSTRACTKulkarni, Shrinivas"Neutron Star and Pulsar Studies"AST-9819926This is a comprehensive multiwavelength investigation of pulsars, neutron stars, accreting X-ray binaries and related collapsed objects such as soft gamma ray repeaters and magnetars. The radio observatories at Arecibo, Green Bank, Parkes (Australia), optical observatories at Palomar and Keck, and space-based facilities will be used to pursue two main objectives: (1) the identification and study of new classes of neutron stars such as soft gamma ray repeaters, radio quiet neutron stars, X-ray pulsars and young pulsars in supernova remnants; (2) high precision timing of binary and millisecond pulsars.

这是一个综合性的多波长研究，研究了中子星、中子星、吸积X射线双星和相关的坍缩天体，如软伽马射线中继器和磁星。位于阿雷西博、绿色银行、帕克斯的无线电观测站（澳大利亚）、Palomar和Keck光学观测台以及空间设施将用于实现两个主要目标：（1）查明和研究新的中子星类别，如软伽马射线中继器、射电宁静中子星、X射线中子星和超新星遗迹中的年轻中子星;（2）二进制和毫秒级时钟的高精度定时。
