TL;DR
This paper details the Green Bank Northern Celestial Cap Pulsar Survey, including its methodology, data analysis, initial discoveries of 62 pulsars, and the characterization of five new pulsars with potential astrophysical significance.
Contribution
It introduces a new large-scale pulsar survey at 350 MHz, providing initial data, discovery parameters, and timing solutions for newly identified pulsars, expanding the known pulsar population.
Findings
Discovered 62 pulsars, including millisecond pulsars and binary systems.
Identified five pulsars with detailed timing solutions and unique properties.
Survey sensitivity surpasses previous efforts by 2.5 times in certain regions.
Abstract
We describe an ongoing search for pulsars and dispersed pulses of radio emission, such as those from rotating radio transients (RRATs) and fast radio bursts (FRBs), at 350 MHz using the Green Bank Telescope. With the Green Bank Ultimate Pulsar Processing Instrument, we record 100 MHz of bandwidth divided into 4,096 channels every 81.92 . This survey will cover the entire sky visible to the Green Bank Telescope (, or 82% of the sky) and outside of the Galactic Plane will be sensitive enough to detect slow pulsars and low dispersion measure (30 ) millisecond pulsars (MSPs) with a 0.08 duty cycle down to 1.1 mJy. For pulsars with a spectral index of 1.6, we will be 2.5 times more sensitive than previous and ongoing surveys over much of our survey region. Here we describe the survey, the data analysis pipeline, initial discovery…
