Presentation Transcript

  1. Pulsar physics and the application of pulsar timing Beijing, May 2011

  2. Main aims • Develop international collaboration • Provide an introduction to pulsar astronomy • Introduce new methods for processing pulsars

  3. What have we covered? Pulsars? Superfluidity Gravitational waves Quarks Atomic time standards Magnetars Micro-lensing Wind nebulae Rotation of Earth Planetary masses Supernovae Solar Wind Galactic magnetic fields Supermassive black holes Interstellar plasma X-ray binaries

  4. What telescopes? Wilcox Solar Observatory Parkes GreenBank Telescope Xinjiang Observatory Fermi Kalyazin Effelsberg Chandra Effelsberg Pushchino FAST

  5. The tutorials • Listened to amazing science talks! • Data publically available from the Parkes data archive (huge amount of research quality data – all can be downloaded) – Jonathan Khoo’s tutorial (referee’s comments on publication received today – only very minor changes required – paper should be on astro-ph within 1 week) • For search mode data – can process using standard pulsar search software – Mike Keith’s tutorial • For known-pulsar observations – can process using PSRCHIVE – Willem van Straten’s tutorial • Can process arrival times using using TEMPO2 – 饺子’s tutorial

  6. Lots of people to thank … • The SOC: • R.N. Manchester (CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science) • JinLin Han (NAO) • Na Wang (UAO) • HaiTao Wu (NTSC) • Guojun Qiao (PKU) 

  7. Lots of people to thank … • The LOC: • Ding Chen (NTSC,Chair) • Renxin Xu (PKU) • Chen Wang (NAO)  • Yuanjie Du (NAO) • Chengshi Zhao (NTSC) • Thanks to all people who ran around with the microphone, created the webpage, ran the registration, picked up international guests at the airport, helped with lunch, chaired sessions, played ping-pong …

  8. International guests • R. Manchester, J. Khoo, D. Yardley (Australia) • W. Coles (USA) • V. Potapov, O. Malov (Russia) • Mike Keith, Paul Demorest (x2), David Champion and Willem van Straten

  9. JinLin Han • Thanks for all your work: • Organising the meeting • Organising the accommodation • Organising the food • Sending out invitation letters/emails • Running skype • Giving a talk • …

  10. Chen Ding • Providing the idea for the meeting • Organising the talks • Funding the meeting • Supporting many international guests (including myself) • Giving a talk! • Giving the best gifts ever received in a pulsar conference – ping-pong bats!!

  11. Two reasons for working in China … • (1) The pulsar community • and Say ni hao to “Du Sha” tonight at the dinner!
