The ATNF Pulsar Catalogue
نویسنده
چکیده
We have compiled a new and complete catalog of the main properties of the 1509 pulsars for which published information currently exists. The catalog includes all spin-powered pulsars as well as anomalous X-ray pulsars and soft gamma-ray repeaters showing coherent pulsed emission, but excludes accretion-powered systems. References are given for all data listed. We have also developed a new web interface for accessing and displaying either tabular or plotted data with the option of selecting pulsars to be displayed via logical conditions on parameter expressions. The web interface has an " expert " mode giving access to a wider range of parameters and allowing the use of custom databases. For users with locally installed software and database on unix or linux systems, the catalog may be accessed from a command-line interface. C-language functions to access specified parameters are also available. The catalog is updated from time to time to include new information.

The Galactic population and birth rate of radio pulsars
We review current understanding of the underlying, as opposed to the observed, pulsar population. The observed sample is heavily biased by selection effects, so that surveys see less than 10% of all potentially observable pulsars. We compare various techniques used to correct the sample for these biases. By far the most significant recent development has been the discovery of over 700 pulsars i...
متن کاملRequired cadence for the 10/50cm dual band receiver for pulsar observations
ATUC has requested: “ATNF staff to analyse and present quantitative information on appropriate science-driven receiver cadence for Parkes.”. This document provides input into the response by describing the science-case for the use of the 10-50CM receiver at Parkes for the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array (PPTA) observations. This document concentrates on the PPTA and makes use of analyses carried out...
متن کاملGalactic Distribution and the Luminosity Function of Pulsars
We have studied the radial distribution and luminosity function of normal pulsars in the Galaxy, on the basis of the ATNF Pulsar Catalogue where the distances are calculated according to the new electron density model NE2001. We show that the maximum of galactocentric distribution of pulsars located near 3.5 kpc and the scale-length of this distribution is ∼ 4 kpc. The surface density of pulsar...
متن کاملDiscriminating the source of high-energy positrons with AMS-02
We study the prospects for discriminating between the dark matter (DM) and pulsar origin of the PAMELA positron excess with the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer AMS-02. We simulate the response of AMS-02 to positrons (and electrons) originating from DM annihilations, and determine the pulsar parameters (spin-down luminosity, distance and characteristic age) that produce a satisfactory fit to the moc...
