Prof. Takata holds a Ph.D. in astrophysics from Yamagata University, Japan (2005).  After completing PhD he was a Postdoctoral fellow at ASIAA and the University of Hong Kong. He joined the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2015 as a professor of the School of Physics. His research interests include high-energy emission from pulsars, searching for new Cataclysmic variable stars in eROSITA X-ray sources, and the evolution of isolated white dwarfs produced by double white dwarf mergers.
摘要:
Since the launch of the Fermi Large Area Telescope, the number of gamma-ray emitting pulsars has steadily increased. Despite this progress, many unresolved issues remain regarding the high-energy phenomena of these pulsars. Notably, Fermi-LAT has not only discovered numerous gamma-ray pulsars but also identified various types of high-energy pulsars, including variable GeV pulsars, MeV pulsars, and GeV-emitting pulsar binary systems.In this talk, I will review recent observational progress in our understanding of the high-energy phenomena associated with pulsars and present some theoretical insights.  Additionally, I will discuss prospects for future high-energy observations for pulsars using MeV telescopes and LHAASO.
