自1967年发现脉冲星以来，弥漫在银河系中的电离介质一直是研究的活跃课题。脉冲星能让人们研究等离子体的多个方面，如柱密度、湍流、散射量，以及中子星与观测者之间离散的、居间的结构和整个磁场的情况。这些信息源有助于刻画地球电离层、太阳风及银河系中的电子分布，对脉冲星计时阵列等其他涉及脉冲星的实验也有重要影响。本文回顾了利用脉冲星进行等离子体研究的现状、优化等离子体研究应考虑的方面，并展望了SKA带来的改进前景。
英文摘要
The ionised media that permeate the Milky Way have been active topics of research since the discovery of pulsars in 1967. In fact, pulsars allow one to study several aspects of said plasma, such as their column density, turbulence, scattering measures, and discrete, intervening structures between the neutron star and the observer, and aspects of the magnetic field throughout. Such sources of information allow us to characterise the electron distribution in the terrestrial ionosphere, the Solar Wind, and our Galaxy and have an important impact on other experiments involving pulsars such as Pulsar Timing Arrays. In this article, we review the state-of-the-art of plasma research using pulsars, the aspects that should be taken into consideration for optimal plasma studies, and we provide future perspectives on improvements to those enabled by the SKA.
