1 Pulsar Overview Kevin Stovall NRAO IPTA 2018 Student Workshop, 11 June, 2018
2 Pulsars
3 Pulsars ~2,700 pulsars known Act as clocks, therefore provide a means for studying a variety of physical phenomena Strongly affected by the interstellar medium (ISM) There are many categories of pulsars (MSPs, RRATs, DNSs, mode-switching, nulling, etc.) As a population are steep spectrum sources (alpha~-1.4)
4 Some Pulsar Applications Populations Study of Interstellar Medium Neutron Stars Dispersion Supernovae / Massive Stars Scattering/Scintillation Binaries Faraday rotation Millisecond Pulsars (MSPs) Extreme Environments Exotic Systems Large B-field Double Neutron Stars (DNSs) Neutron Star Interior Triple Systems Tight Binary systems Double Pulsar Fast Spinning Pulsar-BH Theories of Gravity Clocks Tests of GR Time Standard Alternative Theories Gravitational Waves
