Pulsar science with the Five hundred metre Aperture Spherical Telescope
Pulsar science with the Five hundred metre Aperture Spherical Telescope
With a collecting area of 70 000 m^2, the Five hundred metre Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) will allow for great advances in pulsar astronomy. We have performed simulations to estimate the number of previously unknown pulsars FAST will find with its 19-beam or possibly 100-beam receivers for different survey strategies. …
