EoI", that focuses on pulsar-related science topics that require long-term, repeated
observing campaigns, such as, e.g., DM noise characterization for PTAs
or studies regarding the temporal evolution of pulsar's emission
processes. <br></div><div><br></div><div>I'd like to invite you to <b>opt-in</b> the EoI if you are interested in one of the science topics that we are proposing. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Please
have a look at this Google doc, where I have started working on the
concept and text for the EoI (I will then transfer everything in an
overleaf):</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://mailsweeper.astron.nl:32224/?dmVyPTEuMDAxJiZjZTNmZTc1YzI2MjI5NTY4ZD02MThDMDVBNl85NDMwM184NzI5XzEmJmMyZGNiZjYxNTY3MWVlOD0xMjMzJiZ1cmw9aHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZkb2NzJTJFZ29vZ2xlJTJFY29tJTJGZG9jdW1lbnQlMkZkJTJGMVNETnZZWFRsTUZ4d05vTjZ3YjdXd1hMZUx2WGlydERMT2JGdHY5N2VFd00lMkZlZGl0JTNGdXNwJTNEc2hhcmluZw==" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SDNvYXTlMFxwNoN6wb7WwXLeLvXirtDLObFtv97eEwM/edit?usp=sharing</a></div><div><br></div><div>As
you can see, there are six science topics (for now). They are NOT
written in stone, so we can discuss changes or additions. Please, add
your name to the topics that you are interested in, and feel free to add
text to them or to any of the "Open questions" (use the "suggestion"
mode!). <br></div><div>Please also indicate if there is a science topic
(or more) that you are willing to lead (i.e., to take care more in
detail for the time being). <br></div><div>We aim to find a 'leader' per
science topic (in fact, some science topics are currently not included
because no one has mentioned an interest in them).</div><div><br></div><div>For more information about the EoI process, see: <a href="
