PULSAR ASTRONOMY Past, Present and Future SUMMARY Introduction Pulsar Timing Pulsars as Tools Recent Advances The Future Formation Size and Structure Evolution of a pulsar (in1982) Evolution of a pulsar (in1982) Recycled pulsars – X-ray binaries Evolution of pulsars Pulsar Timing: Summary Pulsar Timing: Binary pulsars Pulsar Timing: Masses of NS Pulsar Timing: Binary pulsars PULSARS AS TOOLS Theories of gravity Cosmology Extra-solar planets Supernova-Explosions Interstellar and intercluster medium Solid state physics under extreme conditions Theories of Gravity: Gravitational Waves Theories of Gravity: Tests Cosmology Cosmology First extra-solar planets Asymmetric Supernova-Explosions Pulsar Proper Motions measured using MERLIN The Galactic magnetic field Glitches of young pulsars Interior of Neutron Stars: Glitches RECENT ADVANCES Discovery of Free Precession Use of MSPs as gravitometers in GCs The Parkes Multibeam Survey Discovery of Magnetars and Magnetar-like radio pulsars Observation in other wavebands Free Precession of a Radio Pulsar !?! PSR B1828–11: Systematic timing residuals Periods of 1000, 500 and 250 days Pulse shape and torque correlated Free Precession of a Radio Pulsar Probing the core of 47 Tucanae Probing the core of 47 Tucanae The Parkes Multibeam Survey History of Searches OTHER WAVEBANDS Optical – 5 pulsars Magnetars, SGRs and AXPs THE FUTURE Coherent Dedispersion Incoherent vs. Coherent De-dispersion COBRA – an on-line super-computer COBRA – Implementation COBRA – 180 PC processors Coherent De-dispersion with COBRA Spectroscopy with COBRA THE FUTUREof pulsar astronomy and radio astronomy Proper Motions: Using Parkes telescope 20 MSPs detected Recent discoveries using acceleration search Most in binary systems Shortest orbit of any radio pulsar, i.e. 96min Accurate positions: First detection of gas in a globular cluster !!
