Description

I am happy to report some progress from Shanghai Astronomical Observatory, which is contineously in deep collaboration with the MWA observatory. With the archival MWA-VCS data and the computational platform of China SKA regional prototype in SHAO, we got preliminary results of the discovery of new pulsars in dense stellar environment, which is considered to be difficult in low-frequency radio observations. One is the re-detection of five "FAST" GCpsrs and the discovery of a possible new GCpsr in M2, and one is along the sight of the galactic bulge with both X-ray and optical counterparts. Our discoveries prove the ability of MWA-VCS, that low-frequency time-domain astronomy may do more than what we thought to be.
