The TRAPUM L-band survey for pulsars in Fermi-LAT gamma-ray sources

C. J. Clark, R. P. Breton, E. D. Barr +35

More than 100 millisecond pulsars (MSPs) have been discovered in radio observations of gamma-ray sources detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT), but hundreds of pulsar-li…

The MeerKAT Pulsar Timing Array: First Data Release

Matthew T. Miles, Ryan M. Shannon, Matthew Bailes +15

We present the first 2.5 years of data from the MeerKAT Pulsar Timing Array (MPTA), part of MeerTime, a MeerKAT Large Survey Project. The MPTA aims to precisely measure pulse arriv…

Searches for Shapiro delay in seven binary pulsars using the MeerKAT telescope

Mohsen Shamohammadi, Matthew Bailes, Paulo C. C. Freire +14

Precision timing of millisecond pulsars in binary systems enables observers to detect the relativistic Shapiro delay induced by space time curvature. When favourably aligned, this…

The Thousand-Pulsar-Array program on MeerKAT -- IX. The time-averaged properties of the observed pulsar population

B. Posselt, A. Karastergiou, S. Johnston +14

We present the largest single survey to date of average profiles of radio pulsars, observed and processed using the same telescope and data reduction software. Specifically, we pre…

A MeerKAT look at the polarization of 47 Tucanae pulsars: magnetic field implications

F. Abbate, A. Possenti, A. Ridolfi +17

We present the polarization profiles of 22 pulsars in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae using observations from the MeerKAT radio telescope at UHF-band (544-1088 MHz) and report prec…

The MeerTime Pulsar Timing Array -- A Census of Emission Properties and Timing Potential

R. Spiewak, M. Bailes, M. T. Miles +17

MeerTime is a five-year Large Survey Project to time pulsars with MeerKAT, the 64-dish South African precursor to the Square Kilometre Array. The science goals for the programme in…

TRAPUM discovery of thirteen new pulsars in NGC 1851 using MeerKAT

A. Ridolfi, P. C. C. Freire, T. Gautam +27

We report the discovery of 13 new pulsars in the globular cluster NGC 1851 by the TRAPUM Large Survey Project using the MeerKAT radio telescope. The discoveries consist of six isol…

The eccentric millisecond pulsar, PSR J09556150 I: Pulse profile analysis, mass measurements and constraints on binary evolution

M. Serylak, V. Venkatraman Krishnan, P. C. C. Freire +17

PSR J09556150 is a member of a class of eccentric MSP+He WD systems (eMSPs), whose binary evolution is poorly understood and believed to be different to that of traditional MSP+…

The 1.28 GHz MeerKAT Galactic Center Mosaic

I. Heywood, I. Rammala, F. Camilo +108

The inner 200 pc region of the Galaxy contains a 4 million M supermassive black hole (SMBH), significant quantities of molecular gas, and star formation and cosmic…
