Abstract
It has been proposed that the building blocks of pulsar matter could be ‘an’, strangeons analogy of atomic nucleons but with negative strangeness. A bare strangeon star should not have a smooth surface, but be covered with small hills (‘zits’), as indicated by red spots in this schematic illustration. These zits on the pulsar surface might be responsible for the magnetospheric activity and the mysterious coherent radio emission, as discussed in the contribution by Xu and Wang, this issue, p. e230153. Zits may also be responsible for the significantly non-symmetrical sparking discovered in the 110-min polarization observation of pulsar PSR B0950+08 targeted with China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope, FAST. Details can be found in the contribution by Wang et al., this issue, e240010.
期刊介绍：
Astronomische Nachrichten, founded in 1821 by H. C. Schumacher, is the oldest astronomical journal worldwide still being published. Famous astronomical discoveries and important papers on astronomy and astrophysics published in more than 300 volumes of the journal give an outstanding representation of the progress of astronomical research over the last 180 years. Today, Astronomical Notes/ Astronomische Nachrichten publishes articles in the field of observational and theoretical astrophysics and related topics in solar-system and solar physics. Additional, papers on astronomical instrumentation ground-based and space-based as well as papers about numerical astrophysical techniques and supercomputer modelling are covered. Papers can be completed by short video sequences in the electronic version. Astronomical Notes/ Astronomische Nachrichten also publishes special issues of meeting proceedings.
