Finding radio pulsars has always been an extremely rewarding challenge and has led to Nobel Prize winning science. We are now entering a new era of radio astronomy and have new game changers, sensitive, wide-field-of-view imaging telescopes and massive compute resources, to search for extreme pulsars. Such pulsars, including pulsar-blackhole systems and sub-millisecond pulsars, cannot be found with traditional pulsar surveys, but provide us unique laboratories to test gravity theories at ultra-strong gravitational fields and probe the state of matter at supra-nuclear densities. In this project I will leverage the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) to discover the most extreme pulsars in deep all-sky continuum surveys.

寻找无线电脉冲星一直是一个非常有意义的挑战，并导致诺贝尔奖获得了科学。我们现在进入了射电天文学的新时代，并拥有新的游戏规则，敏感，视野的望远镜望远镜和大量的计算资源，以寻找极端的脉冲星。传统的脉冲星调查找不到这种脉冲星，包括脉冲星 - 黑孔系统和亚毫秒脉冲星，但是为我们提供了独特的实验室来测试超强重力场的重力理论，并探究了苏次核密度的物质状态。在这个项目中，我将利用澳大利亚平方公里阵列探路者（ASKAP）发现深度全套连续体调查中最极端的脉冲星。
