GIANT PULSAR PULSES FOR PRECISION COMPARISON OF CLOCKS

摘要

The possibility of achieving high-precison comparison of clocks with the use of giant pulsar pulses of enormous peak density of a nanosecond flux is considered. There are practically no constraints on the distance between the synchronized clocks, which may be located either on Earth or in outer space. Radio telescopes of moderate dimensions, low-noise receivers, and high-speed recorders are needed for a such a comparison of clocks. Giant pulsar pulses may be used for space navigation as well as for determining moments (epochs) in the scale of pulsar time.
