Discovery of two new millisecond pulsars towards the Galactic bulge
J. Berteaud, F. Calore, M. Clavel +13
The mysterious Galactic Center Excess of gamma rays could be explained by a large population of millisecond pulsars hiding in the Galactic bulge, too faint to be detected as indivi…
The TRAPUM Large Magellanic Cloud pulsar survey with MeerKAT II: 12 new discoveries and timing solutions for 7 pulsars
V. Prayag, L. Levin, M. Geyer +15
We report the discovery of 12 new radio pulsars in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) as part of the TRAPUM (TRAnsients and PUlsars with MeerKAT) Large Survey Project, using the Meer…
MeerKAT observations of the spiral galaxy NGC 2997 in the S band. Detection of high dynamo modes
A. Damas-Segovia, R. Beck, S. A. Mao +18
We seek to exploit the expanded observational range of the MeerKAT radio telescope with the new S-band receivers (2.0-2.8 GHz). To showcase its enhanced capabilities, we conducted…
Discovery of 30 Galactic radio transient pulsars with MeerTRAP
J. Tian, S. Singh, B. W. Stappers +15
We present the discovery of 30 new Galactic sources from the MeerTRAP project, a commensal fast radio transient search programme using the MeerKAT telescope. These sources were all…
TRAPUM search for pulsars in supernova remnants and pulsar wind nebulae - II. Survey analysis and population study
J. D. Turner, B. W. Stappers, E. Barr +16
We present the second and final set of TRAPUM searches for pulsars at 1284 MHz inside supernova remnants and pulsar wind nebulae with the MeerKAT telescope. No new pulsars were det…
Multiwavelength observations of a new black-widow millisecond pulsar PSR J1544-2555
Sergio Belmonte Diaz, Tinn Thongmeearkom, Adipol Phosrisom +20
We report the discovery of a new black-widow millisecond pulsar, PSR J1544-2555, associated with the Fermi-LAT source 4FGL J1544.2-2554. Optical, radio, and gamma-ray observations…
