Pulsars with the SKA

Abstract

As for other areas in modern astronomy, the SKA will revolutionize the field of pulsar astrophysics. Not only will new science be possible by the shear number of pulsars discovered, but also by the unique timing precision achievable with the SKA. The combination of both will not simply mean a continuation of the successes already achieved by using pulsars as fundamental tools of physics but the SKA will provide a new quality of science.
