67. The Thousand Pulsar Array programme on MeerKAT

Simon Johnston

Observations and Surveys

Oral Presentation

I will present initial results from the Thousand Pulsar Array (TPA) program on the MeerKAT interferometer. The TPA is a 5 year project which observationally aims to (a) observe more than 1000 pulsars to obtain high-fidelity pulse profiles, (b) observe some 500 pulsars over multiple epochs, (c) observe long sequences of single-pulse trains from several hundred pulsars. The scientific outcomes...

97. The Third Fermi LAT Pulsar Catalog, 3PC

Observations and Surveys

Oral Presentation

The Third Fermi Pulsar Catalog (3PC) is nearing completion and will provide timing solutions, pulse profiles, spectra, and ancillary data for over 250 gamma-ray detected pulsars. This grand undertaking pursues the steady growth established by 1PC (46 pulsars) and 2PC (117 pulsars). Ever-more-sophisticated search techniques turn up very gamma-faint radio pulsars and a surprising number of...

33. The Arecibo PALFA survey and the observed population of Galactic millisecond pulsars

Observations and Surveys

Oral Presentation

The Arecibo PALFA survey searches for radio pulsars, Rotating RAdio Transients (RRATs) and Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) in the Galactic plane at 1.4 GHz. The survey has been notably prolific in finding double neutron star (DNS) systems and millisecond pulsars (MSPs), both being valuable in the context of neutron star mass measurements and testing theories of gravity and binary evolution. Many MSPs...

114. The CIRADA slow pulsar survey using CHIME

Dr Chia Min Tan (McGill University)

Observations and Surveys

Oral Presentation

CHIME/FRB monitors the visible sky down to a declination of -11 degrees to search for Fast Radio Bursts. Consequently, daily, high time resolution data (~1ms), wideband (400-800 MHz) observations of the whole visible sky is available. The Canadian Initiative for Radio Astronomy Data Analysis (CIRADA) slow pulsar survey aims to take advantage of this unique instrument by implementing a novel...

137. Finding extragalactic neutron stars through transient searches with EXOD

Inés Pastor-Marazuela (University of Amsterdam)

Observations and Surveys

Oral Presentation

Type I X-ray bursts are thermonuclear explosions that can last from seconds to minutes. These bursts occur in low mass X-ray binaries (LMXB) in which the accretor is a neutron star. Thus, the detection of such transients allows the identification of the accretor in an LMXB.
Currently, 112 galactic type I X-ray bursters are known. However, only two X-ray bursters have been observed in M31,...

22. The Hellenic Radio telescope - Opportunities for pulsar monitoring

Prof. Nectaria Gizani (Hellenic Open University, School of Science and technology)

Observations and Surveys

Oral Presentation

We present the project of the 30m Hellenic Radio Telescope ThermopYlae.
The Radio telescope is the result of the conversion of a redundant 1982 NEC telecommunication antenna located in Thermopylae in the Center of telecommunications of OTE company.
The radio dish will be linked in EVN, VLBI and will be used for all radio astronomical single dish and interferometric continuum and spectral...
