Supplement to the Open Journal of Astrophysics – “Pulsar Science with the SKAO”
It’s been a busy day at the Open Journal of Astrophysics as we’ve published 12 related papers in the form of our first ever Supplement; officially it is Vol. 8 Supplement Issue 1. The idea of a Supplement is to publish a set of related papers together. I imagine it might be of interest for publishing conference proceedings, etc.
The topic of this Supplement is Pulsar Science with the Square Kilometre Array Observatory and it includes updates to the Science Case for the SKAO, the previous version of which is 10 years old. All the papers are indendependently peer-reviewed, which took some organizing and a lot of time because many potential referees are themselves members of the SKA Pulsar Science Working Group! Anyway, the final versions of all the papers hit the arXiv this morning so I published them all today.
Rather than include all 12 papers in tomorrow’s Saturday update I decided just to show the overlay for the overview of the special issue, which is here:
The following paragraph describes the content of the supplement and includes links to the other 11 papers in the issue.
The large instantaneous sensitivity, a wide frequency coverage and flexible observation modes with large number of beams in the sky are the main features of the upcoming SKA observatory’s two telescopes, the SKA-Low and the SKA-Mid, which are located on two different continents. Owing to these capabilities, the SKAO telescopes are going to be a game-changer for radio astronomy in general and pulsar astronomy in particular. The eleven articles in this special issue on pulsar science with the SKA Observatory describe its impact on different areas of pulsar science. Phase 1 of the rollout of the SKAO telescope is likely to double the known pulsar population in new surveys described in the first three papers (Keane et al. 2025; Abbate et al. 2025; Bagchi et al. 2025). These new discoveries will improve our understanding of the dynamics, evolution and gas content of globular clusters and the black hole at the centre of the Milky Way galaxy apart from increasing the samples for each of different kinds of radio emitting neutron stars (Levin et al. 2025). The larger population sample will enhance our understanding of the magneto-ionic interstellar medium (Tiburzi et al. 2025; Xu et al. 2025), the pulsar magnetosphere (Oswald et al. 2025) and pulsar wind nebulae (Gelfand et al. 2025). Moreover, the discovery of exotic neutron star systems will test gravity theory ever more stringently (Krishnan et al. 2025) and will probe fundamental physics at sub-atomic level (Basu et al. 2025). Finally, this enhanced sample is likely to make the sky portrait sharper in nano-Hertz gravitational waves impacting on our understanding of the Universe in a fundamental way (Shannon et al. 2025). In summary, the papers in this special issue describe the way the upcoming SKA Observatory’s telescopes address fundamental physics through the study of pulsars and gravitational waves.

" It is hailed as a global endeavour to explore the hidden universe – a powerful telescope comprising more than 130,000 antennae being built in outback Western Australia. But while the venture is being lauded as one of the most significant scientific endeavours of the 21st century, the Guardian can reveal that the organisation managing the funds of 16 member states has been rocked by allegations of financial misconduct."

The ‘cosmic clocks’ preparing SKAO for early science
Observations of pulsars – rapidly spinning dead stars – are helping the SKA Observatory to prepare for science operations.

🌟 From June 16 to 20, 2025, Görlitz will become the 𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐨 𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐲! 🌟
At the @skao Science Meeting, over 500 researchers from around the world will come together to advance the world’s largest radio telescope, the Square Kilometre Array Observatory.
Germany is strongly represented as a founding member through the MPIfR and the DZA. The conference will highlight exciting topics such as cosmology, galaxy evolution, gravitational waves, and the search for life beyond Earth.
👩🔬👨🔬 Over 200 scientific talks, international experts, and a public program featuring a lecture by Prof. Dr. Michael Kramer on June 17.
We are very much looking forward to the conference and a successful collaboration!
