Description

Pulsars, thanks to their extreme physical conditions and their clock-like nature, are amazing cosmic laboratories for many fileds of astrophysics and fundamental physics. In this talk I will describe the importance of pulsar studies in the context of the Square Kilometre Array and its precursosrs, highlighting some of the most recent results and the open questions that the SKA will help answering.
