The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) has the potential to discover many new pulsars and new phenomena. In this paper we mainly concentrate on how FAST can impact study of the pulsar emission mechanism and magnetospheric dynamics. Several observational programs heading to this direction are reviewed. To make full use of the superior performance of FAST and maximize the scientific outcome, these programs can be arranged in different phases of FAST according to their demands for observational conditions. We suggest that programs can be performed following the test phase, which are observations of multifrequency mean pulse profiles, anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs)/soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs), mode changing, drifting subpulse and nulling. The long-term monitoring can be carried out for mode changing, AXPs/SGRs and precessional pulsars. Others programs, including polarization observations of radio and γ-ray pulsars, searching for weak pulse components, and multifrequency observations of subpulse drifting, microstructure and giant pulses, can be conducted in all the normal operating phases (the first and second phases). These programs will push forward the frontier in this field in different respects. The search for sub-millisecond pulsars and follow-up observations of their emission properties are very important projects for FAST, but they may be covered by other papers in this mini-volume; therefore, they are not discussed here.

With the constraint from gravitational wave emission of a binary merger system (GW170817) and two-solar-mass pulsar observations, we investigate the r-mode instability windows of strange stars with unpaired and color-flavor-locked phase strange quark matter.Shear viscosities due to surface rubbing and electron-electron scattering are taken into account in this work. The results show that the effects of the equation of state of unpaired strange quark matter are only dominant at low temperature, but do not have significant effects on strange stars in the color-flavor-locked phase. A color-flavor-locked phase strange star, which is surrounded by an insulating nuclear crust, seems to be consistent with observational data of young pulsars. We find that an additional enhanced dissipation mechanisms might exist in SAX J1808.4-3658. Fast spinning young pulsar PSR J0537-6910 is a primary source for detecting gravitational waves from a rotating strange star, and young pulsars might be strange stars with color-flavor-locked phase strange quark matter.

In the light of Robinson and Wilczek's new idea, and motivated by Banerjee and Kulkarni's simplified method of using only the covariant anomaly to derive Hawking radiation from a black hole, we generally extend the work to Kerr–Newman black hole in dragging coordinates frame. It is shown that the flows introduced to cancel the anomaly at the event horizon are equal to the corresponding Hawking radiation in dragging coordinates frame, which supports and extends Robinson and Wilczek's opinion.

We present a kind of exact inflationary solution in the chaotic inflation scenario to non-minimal coupled scalar field, taking the Hubble parameter directly as a function of the scalar field ϕ, H(ϕ) = αϕ n . Using the analysis of the WMAP3 data, we give the range of power index n.
