Recent Globular Cluster Searches with Arecibo and the Green Bank Telescope
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the discovery of seven new millisecond pulsars during 20 cm searches of 19 globular clusters using the recently upgraded Arecibo Telescope and the new Green Bank Telescope (GBT). Five of the pulsars are in compact binaries, three of which are eclipsing. One of the systems is in an eccentric orbit which is almost certainly highly relativistic. Additional searches and timing observations are underway.

A 20-cm Survey for Pulsars in Globular Clusters using the GBT and Arecibo
We have been conducting deep searches at ∼20 cm of >30 globular clusters (GCs) using the 305-m Arecibo telescope in Puerto Rico and the 100-m Green Bank telescope (GBT) in West Virginia. With roughly 80% of our search data analyzed, we have confirmed 13 new millisecond pulsars (MSPs), 12 of which are in binary systems, and at least three of which eclipse. We currently have timing solutions for ...
متن کاملSearch for Pulsars in Globular Clusters with Arecibo and the GBT
We are conducting deep searches for radio pulsations at Lband (∼ 20 cm) towards more than 30 globular clusters (GCs) using the 305m Arecibo telescope in Puerto Rico and the 100m Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia. With roughly three quarters of our search data analyzed, we have discovered 12 new millisecond pulsars (MSPs), 11 of which are in binary systems, and at least three of which eclips...
متن کاملA 1.4-GHz Arecibo Survey for Pulsars in Globular Clusters
We have surveyed all 22 known Galactic globular clusters observable with the Arecibo radio telescope and within 70 kpc of the Sun for radio pulsations at ∼ 1.4GHz. Data were taken with the Wideband Arecibo Pulsar Processor, which provided the large bandwidth and high time and frequency resolution needed to detect fast-spinning, faint pulsars. We have also employed advanced search techniques to ...
متن کاملTwenty-one millisecond pulsars in Terzan 5 using the Green Bank Telescope.
We have identified 21 millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in globular cluster Terzan 5 by using the Green Bank Telescope, bringing the total of known MSPs in Terzan 5 to 24. These discoveries confirm fundamental predictions of globular cluster and binary system evolution. Thirteen of the new MSPs are in binaries, of which two show eclipses and two have highly eccentric orbits. The relativistic periastro...

We present the results of recent Arecibo and Green Bank observations of the globular cluster NGC 6760. Using Arecibo, a phase-coherent timing solution has been obtained for the previously known binary pulsar in this cluster, PSR J1911+0102A. We have also discovered a new millisecond pulsar in NGC 6760, PSR J1911+0101B, an isolated object with a rotational period of 5.38ms and a dispersion measu...
