FAST Detects Distinct“Dwarf”Pulses during Nulling State of a Pulsar

Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope(FAST),a research team led by Prof.HAN Jinlin from the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences(NAOC)has detected distinct“dwarf pulses”from an aged pulsar PSR B2111+46,and studied the radio emission in unprecedented details and probed the elusive physics in the magnetosphere.
