The TRAPUM Large Magellanic Cloud pulsar survey with MeerKAT I: Survey setup and first seven pulsar discoveries

V. Prayag, L. Levin, M. Geyer +15

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) presents a unique environment for pulsar population studies due to its distinct star formation characteristics and proximity to the Milky Way. As p…

Study of consecutive eclipses of pulsar J00247204O

F. Abbate, A. Possenti, A. Ridolfi +7

The eclipses seen in the radio emission of some pulsars can be invaluable to study the properties of the material from the companion stripped away by the pulsar. We present a study…

Timing of millisecond pulsars in NGC\,6752 -- III. On the presence of non-luminous matter in the cluster's core

A. Corongiu, A. Ridolfi, F. Abbate +9

Millisecond pulsars are subject to accelerations in globular clusters (GCs) that manifest themselves in both the first and second spin period time derivatives, and can be used to e…

The TRAPUM Small Magellanic Cloud pulsar survey with MeerKAT: I. Discovery of seven new pulsars and two Pulsar Wind Nebula associations

E. Carli, L. Levin, B. W. Stappers +17

The sensitivity of the MeerKAT radio interferometer is an opportunity to probe deeper into the population of rare and faint extragalactic pulsars. The TRAPUM (TRAnsients and PUlsar…

Discovery and timing of ten new millisecond pulsars in the globular cluster Terzan 5

P. V. Padmanabh, S. M. Ransom, P. C. C. Freire +23

We report the discovery of ten new pulsars in the globular cluster Terzan 5 as part of the Transients and Pulsars with MeerKAT (TRAPUM) Large Survey Project. We observed Terzan 5 a…

The MeerKAT 1.3 GHz Survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud

W. Cotton, M. D. Filipovic, F. Camilo +22

We present new radio continuum images and a source catalogue from the MeerKAT survey in the direction of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The observations, at a central frequency…

A pulsar in a binary with a compact object in the mass gap between neutron stars and black holes

Ewan D. Barr, Arunima Dutta, Paulo C. C. Freire +22

Among the compact objects observed in gravitational wave merger events a few have masses in the gap between the most massive neutron stars (NSs) and least massive black holes (BHs)…

MeerKAT Pulsar Timing Array parallaxes and proper motions

Mohsen Shamohammadi, Matthew Bailes, Christopher Flynn +10

We have determined positions, proper motions, and parallaxes of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) from years of MeerKAT radio telescope observations. Our timing and noise ana…
