The discoveries were published on Thursday in Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics.  Located in Pingtang county, Southwest China s Guizhou Province, FAST was completed in 2016 and is the world s largest single-aperture radio telescope. Pulsars are a compact remnant left behind after bright massive stars die. They have the strongest magnetic fields, highest density, and fastest rotation in the universe, and show significant relativistic effect in a system of binary compact stars, the Global Times learned from China s National Astronomical Observator
