Probing Variations in Earth's Ionosphere Using Pulsars
Yanqing Cai, Ziwei Wu, Weiwei Zhu +24
We present high cadence 10-minute rotation measure (RM) monitoring of PSR~J0814+7429 using the LOw-Frequency ARray, aiming to probe ionospheric variability along the pulsar line of…
Pulsar Backend for 21 CentiMeter Array: Implementation of Data Acquisition and Initial Results
Yukai Zhou, Junhua Gu, Mengyao Xue +8
We implemented a data acquisition system for 21 CentiMeter Array (21CMA), enabling baseband observations targeting pulsars and fast radio bursts. Based on the Radio Frequency Syste…
Improved proper motion and gravity tests with PSR J1913+1102
Xueli Miao, Paulo C. C. Freire, Norbert Wex +11
PSR J1913+1102 is a highly asymmetric double neutron star system and an excellent laboratory for testing scalar-tensor gravity theories, as well as a potential progenitor analogue…
The Next-Generation 21CMA Telescope: Design, Commissioning, and Instrumental Effects in an SKA-LFAA-Like System
Jun-Hua Gu, Quan Guo, Liang Dong +11
As the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) approaches operational status, its complex digital architecture introduces new instrumental challenges. To explore relevant observational and da…
Pulsar scintillation studies with LOFAR III. Annual variations in PSR~J08147429
Yanqing Cai, Ziwei Wu, Weiwei Zhu +27
The interstellar scintillation observed in radio pulsars arises from interference between electromagnetic waves scattered by electron density fluctuations in the turbulent interste…
Improving pulsar search efficiency in next-generation pulsar surveys with artificial intelligence
Qiuyang Fu, Mengyao Xue, Weiwei Zhu +12
Pulsar searching with next-generation radio telescopes requires efficiently sifting through millions of candidates generated by search pipelines to identify the most promising ones…
