New Pulsars Coincident With Unidentified Gamma-Ray Sources
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the results of radio searches for pulsars within unidentified EGRET source error boxes. Using the Parkes multibeam system, we have surveyed 56 sources at Galactic latitudes |b| > 5◦ which do not appear to be associated with blazars. This population has been suggested to be distributed like the local star forming region known as the Gould Belt, the Galactic Halo, and/or the millisecond pulsars. We have discovered several new pulsars in this survey, including three new binary systems.

Gamma-Ray Pulsars: Modeling and Searches
Using a likelihood analysis and EGRET detections, upper limits and diffuse background measurements, we find a best-fit luminosity law L ∝ PB for the gamma-ray pulsar population. We find that roughly 30 of the 170 unidentified EGRET sources are likely to be pulsars. This is roughly twice the number of known radio pulsars which are plausibly associated with unidentified EGRET sources. We predict ...
متن کاملOff-beam Gamma-ray Pulsars and Unidentified Egret Sources in the Gould Belt
We investigate whether gamma-ray pulsars viewed at a large angle to the neutron star magnetic pole could contribute to the new population of galactic unidentified EGRET sources associated with the Gould Belt. The faint, soft nature of these sources is distinctly different from both the properties of unidentified EGRET sources along the galactic plane and of the known gamma-ray pulsars. We explo...

The nature of the unidentified gamma-ray point sources in the galactic plane is a long standing puzzle of gamma-ray astronomy. Kaaret and Cottam (1996) showed that 16 of the 25 unidentified gamma-ray point sources near the galactic plane lie in or near associations of massive stars, likely sites of pulsar formation, and that the intrinsic luminosity distribution of the sources is consistent wit...
متن کاملHigh-Energy Gamma-Ray Observations of Two Young, Energetic Radio Pulsars
We present results of Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory/EGRET observations of the unidentified high-energy γ-ray sources 2EG J1049−5847 (GEV J1047−5840, 3EG J1048−5840) and 2EG J1103−6106 (3EG J1102−6103). These sources are spatially coincident with the young, energetic radio pulsars PSRs B1046−58 and J1105−6107, respectively. We find evidence for an association between PSR B1046−58 and 2EG J1049−5...
متن کاملPSR J2021+3651: A Young Radio Pulsar Coincident with an Unidentified EGRET Gamma-ray Source
We report on a deep search for radio pulsations toward five unidentified ASCA X-ray sources coincident with EGRET g-ray sources. This search has led to the discovery of a young and energetic pulsar using data obtained with the new Wideband Arecibo Pulsar Processor. PSR J2021 3651 is likely associated with the X-ray source AX J2021.1 3651, which in turn is likely associated with the COS B high-e...
