28 teams, which qualified out of over 300 teams from universities all over the world, will face a challenging task - pulsar search.

Key Points: 
  • 28 teams, which qualified out of over 300 teams from universities all over the world, will face a challenging task - pulsar search.
  • They will use the open-source software, PRESTO (PulsaR Exploration and Search Toolkit), and real observational data gathered by FAST (Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope) to search for pulsar signals within the shortest time possible.
  • This task is supported by the National Astronomical Observatories of Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC).\nRadio telescopes are used to search for pulsars by detecting radiation emitted by pulsars.
  • FAST is the world's largest single-aperture and most sensitive radio telescope.

FAST, or the Five-Hundred-Meter Aperture Spherical Telescope, will be the main device to conduct the mission.

Key Points: 
  • FAST, or the Five-Hundred-Meter Aperture Spherical Telescope, will be the main device to conduct the mission.
  • Located in Guizhou Province, FAST is the world's largest single-dish radio telescope, which can detect radio-waves from billions of light-years away.
  • So far as now, it has identified 114 new pulsars, released by the FAST Operation and Development Center of the National Astronomical Observatories of China.
  • This video, featuring the chief engineers of FAST, was produced by China Matters.
