"Chinese Sky Eye" has entered a period of explosive results, and more than 800 new pulsars have been discovered.

CTOnews.com, July 26 (Xinhua)-- the FAST Operations and Development Center recently revealed that up to now, the 500m Aperture spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), the world's largest and most sensitive single-aperture radio telescope built by China, has discovered more than 800 new pulsars, which is more than three times the total number of pulsars detected by other telescopes in the world at the same time.

In recent years, Chinese Sky Eye has continuously produced achievements in the direction of the origin and physical mechanism of rapid radio storms, neutral hydrogen universe research, pulsar search and physical research, which has greatly expanded the limit of human vision of the universe.

At present, the "Chinese Sky Eye" has entered a period of explosive results, and several important achievements have been released this year, including the discovery of a pulsar binary system with an orbital period of only 53 minutes, and the detection of key evidence for the existence of Nahtz gravitational waves. China continues to maintain its international leading position in low-frequency radio astronomy.

The study of pulsars is of great significance for exploring major scientific issues such as the origin, evolution and structure of the universe.
