Pulsar research at the Arecibo Observatory: a celebration of five key contributors

该奖项将为2011年3月在波多黎各阿雷西博举行的“阿雷西博天文台脉冲星研究：庆祝五位主要贡献者”会议提供部分支持。这次会议聚集了大约100名研究人员(包括20-30名学生和新研究人员)，回顾了该领域的主要贡献，并讨论了未来的发展方向。主题包括脉冲星计时，发射机制，偏振，使用脉冲星探测低频引力波，以及作为星际介质的探测器。

This award will provide partial support for the conference "Pulsar research at the Arecibo Observatory: a celebration of five key contributors," to be held in Arecibo, Puerto Rico in March 2011. This conference brings together about 100 researchers (including 20-30 students and new researchers) to review major contributions to the field, and discuss future directions. Topics will include pulsar timing, emission mechanisms, polarimetry, using pulsars to detect low-frequency gravitational waves, and as probes of the interstellar medium.
