FAST Telescope Under Maintenance - China

A panoramic drone photo taken on September 25, 2024 shows China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) under maintenance in southwest China's Guizhou Province. FAST, the world's largest filled-aperture and most sensitive radio telescope, has identified more than 1,000 new pulsars, its operator said on Tuesday. The number of new pulsars discovered by FAST has surpassed that of all foreign telescopes combined during the same period, according to the National Astronomical Observatories under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.Photo by Ou Dongqu/Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM

Dubbed the "China Sky Eye," the telescope is located in a naturally deep and round karst depression in the southwestern province of Guizhou. It has a reception area equal to 30 standard football fields. (Xinhua/Ou Dongqu)

China's FAST telescope finds key evidence for nanohertz gravitational waves

STORY: China's FAST telescope finds key evidence for nanohertz gravitational waves DATELINE: June 29, 2023 LENGTH: 00:01:42 LOCATION: GUIYANG, China CATEGORY: TECHNOLOGY SHOTLIST: 1. various of FAST telescope 2. various of scientists and their research work with FAST telescope 3. various of images caught by FAST telescope STORYLINE: China's FAST telescope has found key evidence for the existence of nanohertz gravitational waves. The research, conducted by scientists from the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) and other institutes, was published in the journal Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics Thursday. Gravitational waves are the "ripples" produced by massive objects such as black holes as they rapidly move through the fabric of spacetime. The scientists monitored 57 millisecond pulsars with regular cadence for 41 months by taking advantage of the high sensitivity of FAST. Eventually, they found key evidence for quadrupole correlation signatures compatibl

China's FAST telescope detects record-breaking binary pulsar

STORY: China's FAST telescope detects record-breaking binary pulsar DATELINE: June 23, 2023 LENGTH: 00:01:29 LOCATION: GUIYANG, China CATEGORY: TECHNOLOGY SHOTLIST: 1. various of China's FAST telescope 2. SOUNDBITE (Chinese): LU JIGUANG, Assistant researcher, National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) STORYLINE: China's FAST telescope identified a binary pulsar with an orbital period of 53.3 minutes, the shortest known period for a pulsar binary system. The research, mainly conducted by a team led by scientists from the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC), was published in the journal Nature Wednesday. Pulsars, or fast-spinning neutron stars, originate from the imploded cores of massive dying stars through supernova explosions. The newly detected binary pulsar is named PSR J1953+1844 (M71E). It belongs to the spider pulsar system with the largest orbiting angular velocity so far. SOUNDBITE (Chinese): LU JIGUANG, Assistant rese

SOUNDBITE (Chinese): JIANG PENG, Chief engineer of FAST "The FAST telescope provides us an important opportunity in finding some unique pulsars for producing premises for significant scientific results." Pulsars, or fast-spinning neutron stars, originate from the imploded cores of massive dying stars through supernova explosions. Pulsar observation is an important task for FAST, which can be used to confirm the existence of gravitational radiation and black holes, and help solve many other major questions in physics.
