Gravitational wave detection using pulsars: status of the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array project

G. B. Hobbs, M. Bailes, N. D. R. Bhat +17

The first direct detection of gravitational waves may be made through observations of pulsars. The principal aim of pulsar timing array projects being carried out worldwide is to d…

Arecibo Pulsar Survey Using ALFA: Probing Radio Pulsar Intermittency and Transients

J. S. Deneva, J. M. Cordes, M. A. McLaughlin +23

We present radio transient search algorithms, results, and statistics from the ongoing Arecibo Pulsar ALFA (PALFA) Survey of the Galactic plane. We have discovered seven objects by…

PSR J1856+0245: Arecibo Discovery of a Young, Energetic Pulsar Coincident with the TeV Gamma-ray Source HESS J1857+026

J. W. T. Hessels, D. J. Nice, B. M. Gaensler +21

We present the discovery of the Vela-like radio pulsar J1856+0245 in the Arecibo PALFA survey. PSR J1856+0245 has a spin period of 81ms, a characteristic age of 21kyr, and a spin-d…

A Search for Single Radio Pulses and Bursts from Southern AXPs

F. Crawford, J. W. T. Hessels, V. M. Kaspi

We observed four southern AXPs in 1999 near 1400 MHz with the Parkes 64-m radio telescope to search for periodic radio emission. No Fourier candidates were discovered in the initia…

A bright millisecond radio burst of extragalactic origin

D. R. Lorimer, M. Bailes, M. A. McLaughlin +2

Pulsar surveys offer one of the few opportunities to monitor even a small fraction (~0.00001) of the radio sky for impulsive burst-like events with millisecond durations. In analys…

Flux Densities and Radio Polarization Characteristics of Two Vela-like Pulsars

F. Crawford, C. L. Tiffany

We report on dual-frequency radio polarimetry observations of two young, energetic pulsars, PSRs J0940-5428 and J1301-6305. These were among the first Vela-like pulsars discovered…
