Searching for Radio Pulsars in 3EG Sources at Urumqi Observatory

TL;DR

This paper discusses the development and testing of a pulsar searching system at Urumqi Observatory, aiming to identify radio pulsars in 3EG gamma-ray sources and other targets.

Contribution

It introduces a new pulsar search system operational at 18 cm wavelength on a 25-m radio telescope and evaluates its performance on known pulsars.

Findings

System successfully detects known pulsars

Potential to discover new pulsars in 3EG sources

System performance aligns with design expectations

Abstract

Since mid-2005, a pulsar searching system has been operating at 18 cm on the 25-m radio telescope of Urumqi Observatory. Test observations on known pulsars show that the system can perform the intended task. The prospect of using this system to observe 3EG sources and other target searching tasks is discussed.
