High-precision angle measurement of pulsars is critical for realizing pulsar navigation.Compared to visible light and radio waves,the wavelength of X-rays is incredibly short,which provides the possibility of achieving better spatial resolution.However,due to the lack of applicable X-ray apparatus,extracting the angle information of pulsars through conventional X-ray methods is challenging.Here,we propose an approach of pulsar angle measurement based on spatially modulated X-ray intensity correlation[SMXIC],in which the angle information is obtained by measuring the spatial intensity correlation between two radiation fields.The theoretical model for this method has been established,and a proof-of-concept experi-ment was carried out.The SMXIC measurement of observing angles has been demonstrated,and the experimental results are consistent with the theoretical values.The potential of this method in future applications is discussed,and theoretically,the angular measurement at the level of micro-arcsecond can be expected.The sphere of pulsar navigation may benefit from our fresh insights.
