脉冲星计时技术及其应用
Pulsar Timing Technique and Its Applications
摘要
Abstract
The discovery of pulsar and timing observations are briefly described. The physical models of timing for pulsar and various softwares for pulsar timing, especially the TEMPO2 used worldwide, are mentioned in detail. The idea of pulsar timing array and international pulsar timing array are introduced. Pulsar timing is applied in the following aspects: developing a pulsar-based timescale, improving the solar ephemeris (including the determination of mass of outer planets and discovery of trans-Neptunian ob ject), searching for gravitational waves, determination of rotation and astrometric parameters for pulsar, autonomous spacecraft navigation with pulsars, tests of relativistic gravity and so on. Fi-nally, the research work on pulsar timing technique and its application in China is simply introduced, and some suggestions are proposed.关键词
