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…
