A possible pulsar science of FAST -70th Birthday of prof.Dick GuojunQiao
Dick helped us not only for pulsar research, but also for young people having a sit there.
We appreciate the long term cooperations on pulsar research with Dr. Dick Manchester Parkes obs of pulsar polarization profiles • 45 pulsars at 1560MHz by Wu XJ, Manchester, Lyne, Qiao 1993, MNRAS 261,630 • 29 pulsars at 660MHzand 40 pulsars at 1440MHz by Qiao GJ, Manchester, Lyne, Gould, 1995, MNRAS 274, 572 • 66 pulsars at 435, 660, 1500MHz by Manchester, Han & Qiao, 1998, MNRAS 295, 280 • Circular polarization: Han JL, Manchester, Xu, Qiao 1998, MNRAS 300, 373 ...........
Dick & Wu: Wang Na’s Advisor for PhD
JinLin Han & Dick Manchester have observed several hundreds of pulsars with Parkes 64m for their polarization and rotation measures. Their data are crucial to delineate the Galactic magnetic fields.
Pulsars as probes for magnetic field • Polarized. Widely spread in our Galaxy. Faraday rotation: • Distances estimated from pulse dispersion: • <===the delay tells DM • the rotation of position • angles tells RM value===> • Average field strength is
To study halo field: unique RM distribution Pulsars • The largest edge-on Galaxy in the sky • Pulsars and extragalactic radio sources as probes
Possible pulsar science of FAST • We have not experience => • Need your help: • Dick Manchester, • G. Hobbs • J.M. Cordes • ……

M > 3 M⊙: black hole ! Casares, stro-ph/0612312,
Can we find an Evidence of Event Horizon? It’s a black hole. ? It’s black, and it looks like a hole. I’d say it’s a black hole.
Free Precession of a Radio Pulsar Stairs et al. 2000 • B1828–11: • Systematic timing residuals • Periods of 1000, 500 and 250 days • Pulse shape and torque correlated
Free Precession of a Radio Pulsar BUT: Free precession isnot expectedin case of pinned vortices in super-fluid interior!
