Pulsars are cool. Seriously
Scott M. Ransom
Ever since the first pulsar was discovered by Bell and Hewish over 40 years ago, we've known that not only are pulsars fascinating and truly exotic objects, but that we can use the…
The Green Bank Telescope 350 MHz Drift-scan Survey II: Data Analysis and the Timing of 10 New Pulsars, Including a Relativistic Binary
Ryan S. Lynch, Jason Boyles, Scott M. Ransom +17
We have completed a 350 MHz drift scan survey using the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope with the goal of finding new radio pulsars, especially millisecond pulsars that can be t…
The Green Bank Telescope 350 MHz Drift-scan Survey I: Survey Observations and the Discovery of 13 Pulsars
Jason Boyles, Ryan S. Lynch, Scott M. Ransom +17
Over the summer of 2007, we obtained 1191 hours of `drift-scan' pulsar search observations with the Green Bank Telescope at a radio frequency of 350 MHz. Here we describe the surve…
Radio Detection of the Fermi LAT Blind Search Millisecond Pulsar J1311-3430
P. S. Ray, S. M. Ransom, C. C. Cheung +15
We report the detection of radio emission from PSR J1311-3430, the first millisecond pulsar discovered in a blind search of Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) gamma-ray data. We dete…
A Giant Sample of Giant Pulses from the Crab Pulsar
Mitchell B. Mickaliger, Maura A. McLaughlin, Duncan R. Lorimer +6
We observed the Crab pulsar with the 43-m telescope in Green Bank, WV over a timespan of 15 months. In total we obtained 100 hours of data at 1.2 GHz and seven hours at 330 MHz, re…
PSR J1838-0537: Discovery of a young, energetic gamma-ray pulsar
H. J. Pletsch, L. Guillemot, B. Allen +12
We report the discovery of PSR J1838-0537, a gamma-ray pulsar found through a blind search of data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT). The pulsar has a spin frequency of 6.9…
A Population of Non-Recycled Pulsars Orginating in Globular Clusters
Ryan S. Lynch, Duncan R. Lorimer, Scott M. Ransom +1
We explore the enigmatic population of long-period, apparently non-recycled pulsars in globular clusters, building on recent work by Boyles et al (2011). This population is difficu…
Discovery of the Optical/Ultraviolet/Gamma-ray Counterpart to the Eclipsing Millisecond Pulsar J1816+4510
D. L. Kaplan, K. Stovall, S. M. Ransom +21
The energetic, eclipsing millisecond pulsar J1816+4510 was recently discovered in a low-frequency radio survey with the Green Bank Telescope. With an orbital period of 8.7 hr and m…
Radio Searches of Fermi LAT Sources and Blind Search Pulsars: The Fermi Pulsar Search Consortium
P. S. Ray, A. A. Abdo, D. Parent +29
We present a summary of the Fermi Pulsar Search Consortium (PSC), an international collaboration of radio astronomers and members of the Large Area Telescope (LAT) collaboration, w…
Discovery of the millisecond pulsar PSR J2043+1711 in a Fermi source with the Nancay Radio Telescope
L. Guillemot, P. C. C. Freire, I. Cognard +18
We report the discovery of the millisecond pulsar PSR J2043+1711 in a search of a Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) source with no known associations, with the Nancay Radio Telescop…
Five New Millisecond Pulsars From a Radio Survey of 14 Unidentified Fermi-LAT Gamma-ray Sources
M. Kerr, F. Camilo, T. J. Johnson +12
We have discovered five millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in a survey of 14 unidentified Fermi-LAT sources in the southern sky using the Parkes radio telescope. PSRs J0101-6422, J1514-494…
The Timing of Nine Globular Cluster Pulsars
Ryan S. Lynch, Paulo C. C. Freire, Scott M. Ransom +1
We have used the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope to time nine previously known pulsars without published timing solutions in the globular clusters M62, NGC 6544, and NGC 6624.…
