1 Pulsar physics and the application of pulsar timing Beijing, May 2011

2 Main aims Develop international collaboration Provide an introduction to pulsar astronomy Introduce new methods for processing pulsars

3 What have we covered? Pulsars? Quarks Gravitational waves Atomic time standards Rotation of Earth Micro-lensing Planetary masses Supernovae Supermassive black holes X-ray binaries Galactic magnetic fields Magnetars Interstellar plasma Superfluidity Solar Wind Wind nebulae

4 What telescopes? Fermi Parkes Effelsberg Pushchino Kalyazin Xinjiang ObservatoryGreenBank Telescope Effelsberg Wilcox Solar Observatory FAST Chandra

5 The tutorials Listened to amazing science talks! Data publically available from the Parkes data archive (huge amount of research quality data – all can be downloaded) – Jonathan Khoo’s tutorial (referee’s comments on publication received today – only very minor changes required – paper should be on astro-ph within 1 week) For search mode data – can process using standard pulsar search software – Mike Keith’s tutorial For known-pulsar observations – can process using PSRCHIVE – Willem van Straten’s tutorial Can process arrival times using using TEMPO2 – 饺子 ’s tutorial

6 Lots of people to thank … The SOC: R.N. Manchester (CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science) JinLin Han (NAO) Na Wang (UAO) HaiTao Wu (NTSC) Guojun Qiao (PKU)

7 Lots of people to thank … The LOC: Ding Chen (NTSC,Chair) Renxin Xu (PKU) Chen Wang (NAO) Yuanjie Du (NAO) Chengshi Zhao (NTSC) Thanks to all people who ran around with the microphone, created the webpage, ran the registration, picked up international guests at the airport, helped with lunch, chaired sessions, played ping-pong …

8 International guests R. Manchester, J. Khoo, D. Yardley (Australia) W. Coles (USA) V. Potapov, O. Malov (Russia) Mike Keith, Paul Demorest (x2), David Champion and Willem van Straten

9 JinLin Han Thanks for all your work: Organising the meeting Organising the accommodation Organising the food Sending out invitation letters/emails Running skype Giving a talk …

10 Chen Ding Providing the idea for the meeting Organising the talks Funding the meeting Supporting many international guests (including myself) Giving a talk! Giving the best gifts ever received in a pulsar conference – ping-pong bats!!

11 Two reasons for working in China … (1) The pulsar community and Say ni hao to “Du Sha” tonight at the dinner!
