Three New Binary Pulsars Discovered With Parkes

TL;DR

This paper reports the discovery of three new binary pulsars in gamma-ray error regions, highlighting their atypical nature and ongoing timing studies to understand their properties within the pulsar population.

Contribution

The discovery of three new binary pulsars in gamma-ray error boxes using the Parkes telescope, expanding the known diversity of binary pulsar systems.

Findings

Discovered three new binary pulsars with Parkes

These pulsars are somewhat atypical compared to known systems

Timing observations are ongoing to characterize these pulsars

Abstract

We present three new binary pulsars discovered during a search for pulsations in 56 unidentified mid-latitude EGRET gamma-ray error boxes with the Parkes multibeam receiver. Timing observations of these sources is on-going with both the Parkes and the Green Bank telescopes. We discuss the place of these new systems in the population of binary pulsars and suggest that they are all somewhat atypical systems.
