This review and feasibility study shows that compact radio receivers can detect bright pulsars for navigation, timing, randomness, and space weather applications, with a 4-meter dish potentially achieving 10 km self-localization.

abstract
The Deep Space Network (DSN) is a worldwide array of radio telescopes that supports NASA's interplanetary spacecraft missions. When the DSN antennas are not communicating with spacecraft, they provide a valuable resource for performing observations of radio magnetars, searches for new pulsars at the Galactic Center, and additional pulsar-related studies. We describe the DSN's capabilities for carrying out these types of observations. We also present results from observations of three radio magnetars, PSR J1745-2900, PSR J1622-4950, and XTE J1810-197, and the transitional magnetar candidate, PSR J1119-6127, using the DSN radio telescopes near Canberra, Australia.

Unlocking the hidden potential of pulsar astronomy
