Youling Yue, Di Li, Rendong Nan
TL;DR
This paper proposes a low-frequency pulsar survey using FAST's 7-beam receiver, predicting the discovery of approximately 1700 new pulsars through simulations, enhancing our understanding of pulsar populations.
Contribution
It introduces a dedicated low-frequency survey plan for FAST with simulation results estimating significant new pulsar discoveries.
Findings
Approximately 1500 new normal pulsars predicted
Around 200 millisecond pulsars expected to be discovered
Survey optimized for FAST's sky drift-scan mode
Abstract
The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) is under construction and will be commissioned in September 2016. A low frequency 7-beam receiver working around 400 MHz is proposed for FAST early science. It will be optimized for a whole FAST sky drift-scan pulsar survey. Simulations show that about 1500 new normal pulsars will be discovered, as while as about 200 millisecond pulsars.
