A search for pulsars associated with supernova remnants in the Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds

Radio surveys were carried out at 1.4 GHz in 1981 and 1982 using 2 msec sampling intervals to search for periodicities indicative of pulsars. The survey covered 55 galactic supernova remnants (SNR), 30 Magellanic Cloud SNR, three Cos-B error box circles, and 20 other objects. Pulsars were detected in G308.7 + 0.0. G320.4 - 1.4 and W28. PSR 1502 - 58, in G320.4 - 1.4, was an X-ray pulsar. The survey established an upper limit to the pulsed flux from the central object in RCW 103. The object may be a neutron star emitting thermal radiation from its surface.
