脉冲星定时阵列计划

Pulsar timing array projects

G. Hobbs

摘要:

脉冲星是宇宙中已知的最稳定的旋转体之一。多年来,有些毫秒钟的稳定性可与原子钟相媲美。对许多这样的稳定恒星的观测结果进行比较,可以首次直接探测到引力波,改进太阳系行星星历,并提供一种研究地球时间尺度不规则性的手段。在这里,我们回顾了当前和未来的脉冲星定时阵列项目的目标和状态。

英文摘要:

Pulsars are amongst the most stable rotators known in the Universe. Over many years some millisecond pulsars rival the stability of atomic clocks. Comparing observations of many such stable pulsars may allow the first direct detection of gravitational waves, improve the Solar System planetary ephemeris and provide a means to study irregularities in terrestrial time scales. Here we review the goals and status of current and future pulsar timing array projects.
