摘      要：The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope(FAST)is the most sensitive radio telescope for pulsar *** make polarimetric measurements of a large number of faint and distant pulsars using the *** present the new measurements of Faraday rotation for 134 faint pulsars in the Galactic *** improvements are also made for some basic pulsar parameters for 15 of *** analyse the newly determined rotation measures(RMs)for the Galactic magnetic fields by using these 134 halo pulsars,together with previously available RMs for pulsars and extragalactic radio sources and also the newly determined RMs for another 311 faint pulsars which are either newly discovered in the project of the Galactic Plane Pulsar Snapshot(GPPS)survey or previously known pulsars without *** RM tomographic analysis in the first Galactic quadrant gives roughly the same field strength of around 2μG for the large-scale toroidal halo magnetic *** scale height of the halo magnetic fields is found to be at least 2.7±0.3 *** RM differentiation of a large number of pulsars in the Galactic disk in the Galactic longitude range of 26°l90°gives evidence for the clockwise magnetic fields(viewed from the north Galactic pole)in two interarm regions inside the Scutum arm and between the Scutum and Sagittarius arm,and the clockwise fields in the Local-Perseus interarm region and field reversals in the Perseus arm and beyond.
