Rationale
It has been more than half a century since the discovery of first pulsar, but the radiative processes around compact stars remain to be elucidated. Pulsars' magnetospheres involve various plasma and particle physical processes under extreme conditions, rendering them excellent natural laboratories. The abundance of phenomenology of pulsars challenges models, yet the identification of those that truly describe the phenomena remains elusive.
Concurrently, fast radio bursts (FRBs) have become hot topics these years. More and more observations hint that FRBs are relevant to compact stars, and have much similarity in radiative processes with that of pulsars. In this invitation-only meeting, “The Era When Pulsars Meet FRBs”, radiative mechanisms of both pulsars and FRBs are focused, especially for the single pulses of pulsars.
