Dr. Backer at the University of California, Berkeley will use a                 signal processor which he developed to search large areas of the                sky for pulsars with millisecond periods.  In addition to its                   search mode, the signal processor can be used for pulse timing of               known pulsars and as a flexible spectrum analyzer.                                                                                                              Research into pulsars with millisecond periods and the related                  binary pulsars is evolving rapidly.  These objects have                         established new constraints on the internal structure of neutron                stars and on neutron star magnetospheres.  Pulse time-of-arrival                measurements of these pulsars have had a tremendous impact on a                 number of branches of science: on high density matter physics, on               Solar System ephemeris development, and on general relativity and               cosmology.  Dr. Backer's research is at the forefront of                        discovering more members of this important class of pulsars.
