Searching for pulsars in globular clusters with the MeerKAT Radio Telescope

F. Abbate

Globular clusters are known to host an unusually large population of millisecond pulsar when compared to the Galactic disk. This is thanks to the high rate of dynamical encounters…

The Thousand-Pulsar-Array programme on MeerKAT III: Giant pulse characteristics of PSR J05406919

Marisa Geyer, Maciej Serylak, Federico Abbate +8

PSR J05406919 is the second-most energetic radio pulsar known and resides in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Like the Crab pulsar it is observed to emit giant radio pulses (GPs). We…

An 86-GHz search for Pulsars in the Galactic Center with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array

Kuo Liu, Gregory Desvignes, Ralph P. Eatough +24

We report on the first pulsar and transient survey of the Galactic Center (GC) with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The observations were conducted during…

Eight new millisecond pulsars from the first MeerKAT globular cluster census

A. Ridolfi, T. Gautam, P. C. C. Freire +24

We have used the central 44 antennas of the new 64-dish MeerKAT radio telescope array to conduct a deep search for new pulsars in the core of nine globular clusters. This has led t…

The Relativistic Binary Programme on MeerKAT: Science objectives and first results

M. Kramer, I. H. Stairs, V. Venkatraman Krishnan +35

We describe the ongoing Relativistic Binary programme (RelBin), a part of the MeerTime large survey project with the MeerKAT radio telescope. RelBin is primarily focused on observa…

Measurements of pulse jitter and single-pulse variability in millisecond pulsars using MeerKAT

A. Parthasarathy, M. Bailes, R. M. Shannon +18

Using the state-of-the-art SKA precursor, the MeerKAT radio telescope, we explore the limits to precision pulsar timing of millisecond pulsars achievable due to pulse stochasticity…
