Outline
The observation and the theoretical study of the pulsar have made a great progress since the first pulsar was discovered in 1967, honored with two Nobel Prizes. It is an extremely large physical laboratory in the universe, which not only can test the general relativity, but also measure the predicted gravitational waves. In this paper, we review the history and the properties of pulsars, and analyze its applications in the gravitational wave detection and the pulsar navigation. The pulsar detection of the five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) is discussed, at the end.
