Abstract (from CDS):

Quasiperiodic micropulses (QMPs) are quasiperiodic microstructural features manifested in individual pulsar radio pulses, the study of which is crucial for understanding pulsar radiation mechanisms. Manual identification of QMPs in large-scale pulsar single-pulse datasets remains highly inefficient. To address this, we propose a dual-stage residual network (DSR) that achieves automated QMP detection in Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope observational data through joint analysis of single-pulse profiles and their amplitude distribution profiles, defined as the power spectra of the autocorrelation function derivatives of the microstructure residuals. The model was trained on PSR B1933+16 data from 2019 (10,486 single pulses) and evaluated on manually annotated PSR B1933+16 data from 2020 (9657 single pulses). DSR achieved 96.10% recall and 95.85% precision on the test set. This approach provides an automated pipeline for large-scale, reproducible QMP identification and establishes the foundation for in-depth investigation of their physical mechanisms.
