Mining the time axis with TRON - III. Discovery of a nulling pulsar towards the SMC with MeerKAT

T. Blecher, M. Geyer, O. M. Smirnov +21

We report on the discovery of a nulling pulsar, PSR J00527551, in archival MeerKAT L-band observations of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The discovery was made using the imag…

PSR~J19105959A: A rare gravitational laboratory for testing white dwarf models

A. Corongiu, V. Venkatraman Krishnan, P. C. C. Freire +21

PSRJ1910-5959A (J1910A) is a binary millisecond pulsar in a 0.837 day circular orbit around a helium white dwarf (HeWD) companion. This pulsar is located 6.3 arcmin away from the c…

The Thousand-Pulsar-Array programme on MeerKAT -- VIII. The subpulse modulation of 1198 pulsars

X. Song, P. Weltevrede, A. Szary +13

We report on the subpulse modulation properties of 1198 pulsars using the Thousand-Pulsar-Array programme on MeerKAT. About 35% of the analysed pulsars exhibit drifting subpulses w…

The Curious Case of the "Heartworm" Nebula

W. D. Cotton, F. Camilo, W. Becker +9

The curious Galactic features near G357.20.2 were observed with the MeerKAT radio interferometer array in the UHF and L bands (0.56--1.68 GHz). There are two possibly related fe…

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…

Simultaneous X-ray and radio observations of the transitional millisecond pulsar candidate CXOU J110926.4-650224. The discovery of a variable radio counterpart

F. Coti Zelati, B. Hugo, D. F. Torres +15

We present the results of simultaneous observations of the transitional millisecond pulsar (tMSP) candidate CXOU J110926.4-650224 with the XMM-Newton satellite and the MeerKAT tele…

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…

The Thousand-Pulsar-Array programme on MeerKAT II: observing strategy for pulsar monitoring with subarrays

X. Song, P. Weltevrede, M. J. Keith +15

The Thousand Pulsar Array (TPA) project currently monitors about 500 pulsars with the sensitive MeerKAT radio telescope by using subarrays to observe multiple sources simultaneousl…

The Thousand-Pulsar-Array programme on MeerKAT IV: Polarisation properties of young, energetic pulsars

M. Serylak, S. Johnston, M. Kramer +16

We present observations of 35 high spin-down energy radio pulsars using the MeerKAT telescope. Polarisation profiles and associated parameters are also presented. We derive the geo…

Revival of the magnetar PSR J1622-4950: observations with MeerKAT, Parkes, XMM-Newton, Swift, Chandra, and NuSTAR

F. Camilo, P. Scholz, M. Serylak +205

New radio (MeerKAT and Parkes) and X-ray (XMM-Newton, Swift, Chandra, and NuSTAR) observations of PSR J1622-4950 indicate that the magnetar, in a quiescent state since at least ear…
