Proposed VLBI Study on Pulsars Discovered by FAST

Abstract

The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) is the largest single dish radio telescope in the word, which has discovered more than 40 new pulsars. EVN observations have been proposed to measure the astrometric parameters of three FAST pulsars, which are model independent and useful for pulsar timing and luminosity estimation. The FAST VLBI system has also been developed, which is being tested now and would significantly improve the sensitivity of the existing VLBI networks in the future.
