Observations of the Pulsar in Supernova 1987A

该奖项是为了支持一个重新获取和研究最近在LMC超新星1987A中发现的脉冲星的项目（Kristian, Pennypacker, Middleditch et al, 1989）。正在为购买两个大容量8毫米磁带机提供经费，这是已经建成的新数据系统的最后组成部分。新系统将以更高的采样率提供更长的连续相位数据，以便研究脉冲的详细结构。

This award is in support of a program to reacquire and study the pulsar recently discovered in the LMC supernova 1987A (Kristian, Pennypacker, Middleditch et al, 1989). Funding is being provided for the purchase of two high-capacity 8mm tape drives, which are the final components of a new data system that has already been built. The new system will provide longer stretches of continuous phased data at higher sampling rates in order to study the detailed structure of the pulses.
