China's Daocheng Solar Radio Telescope, the largest of its kind in the world, has successfully identified a pulsar flicker in its first pulsar detection experiment based on radio image sequences, according to the National Space Science Center under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Located on the edge of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau in southwest China's Sichuan Province, the telescope consists of 313 six-meter-wide parabolic antennas encircling a 100-meter-high calibration tower in the center. Together, these antennas form a huge, virtual telescope working at a frequency range from 150 to 450 megahertz to achieve high-precision imaging of solar events.
