The Thousand-Pulsar-Array programme on MeerKAT VII: Polarisation properties of pulsars in the Magellanic Clouds
S. Johnston, A. Parthasarathy, R. A. Main +12
The Magellanic Clouds are the only external galaxies known to host radio pulsars. The dispersion and rotation measures of pulsars in the Clouds can aid in understanding their struc…
The MeerKAT Galaxy Cluster Legacy Survey I. Survey Overview and Highlights
K. Knowles, W. D. Cotton, L. Rudnick +148
MeerKAT's large number of antennas, spanning 8 km with a densely packed 1 km core, create a powerful instrument for wide-area surveys, with high sensitivity over a wide range of an…
The Thousand-Pulsar-Array programme on MeerKAT: -- VI. Pulse widths of a large and diverse sample of radio pulsars
B. Posselt, A. Karastergiou, S. Johnston +14
We present pulse width measurements for a sample of radio pulsars observed with the MeerKAT telescope as part of the Thousand-Pulsar-Array (TPA) programme in the MeerTime project.…
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…
The Thousand-Pulsar-Array programme on MeerKAT -- V. Scattering analysis of single-component pulsars
L. S. Oswald, A. Karastergiou, B. Posselt +13
We have measured the scattering timescale, , and the scattering spectral index, , for 84 single-component pulsars. Observations were carried out with the MeerKAT telescope as…
Multi-frequency observations of SGR J1935+2154
M. Bailes, C. G. Bassa, G. Bernardi +54
Magnetars are a promising candidate for the origin of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). The detection of an extremely luminous radio burst from the Galactic magnetar SGR J1935+2154 on 2020…
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…
