This project will use data from the world's most sensitive telescopes, including the newly built MeerKAT telescope in South Africa, to understand the variable radio emission from pulsars, and improve pulsar timing experiments. Pulsar timing experiments aim to test Einstein's GR, to observe Gravitational Waves, to understand the interiors of pulsars and test the various possible equations of state of dense nuclear matter. MeerKAT is a precursor instrument to one of the Square Kilometre Array telescopes. Once complete, by the end of 2017, it will be the most sensitive telescope in the Southern hemisphere.

该项目将使用世界上最灵敏的望远镜，包括南非新建的MeerKAT望远镜的数据，以了解脉冲星的可变无线电发射，并改进脉冲星计时实验。脉冲星计时实验旨在测试爱因斯坦的GR，观察引力波，了解脉冲星的内部，并测试各种可能的致密核物质状态方程。MeerKAT是平方公里阵列望远镜之一的先驱仪器。一旦完成，到2017年底，它将成为南半球最灵敏的望远镜。
