Six New Isolated Millisecond Pulsars Discovered with FAST
Chinese astronomers analyzing archival FAST data from the core‑collapsed globular clusters NGC 6517 and M15 uncovered six new isolated millisecond pulsars—four in NGC 6517 and two in M15. The pulsars spin between 3.68 ms and 9.29 ms and were detected using a stacking power‑spectrum technique that amplifies faint signals. Their addition raises the known pulsar populations in the two clusters by roughly 27% and 18%, respectively, and brings the FAST Globular Cluster Pulsar Survey (GC‑FANS) total to over 60 pulsars across 16 clusters. The findings were posted on arXiv on April 9, 2026.
