Among these newly discovered pulsars are at least 120 binary pulsars, 170 millisecond pulsars, and 80 dim, sporadic pulsars, greatly expanding humanity's understanding of the cosmos.
Experts have revealed that the recently discovered nearly hundred faint intermittent pulsars have radiation flux densities an order of magnitude lower than those of normal pulsars.
Studying these intermittent pulsars is crucial for understanding how many dense neutron star remnants form after the death of stars in the Milky Way and for unraveling unknown pulsar radiation physics processes.
Data indicates that FAST, conceived by the late Chinese astronomer Nan Rendong in 1994, took 22 years to build and was inaugurated for operation on September 25, 2016, after a debugging period.
On January 11, 2020, FAST passed national acceptance and officially commenced operations.
Currently, FAST maintains a stable observation time of around 5300 hours per year, playing a crucial role in continuously generating scientific research outcomes.
