A high-frequency survey of the galactic plane for young and distant pulsars.
Abstract
A survey is performed for radar pulsars along the northern galactic plane at 1400 MHz. Utilizing a fast sampling rate and relatively high radio frequency, this study minimized the selection effects connected with high galactic background emission, multipath scattering and interstellar dispersion, all of which had seriously affected previous major surveys. The timing data and pulse periods show that the detected sample is almost an order of magnitude younger than those objects discovered in previous all-sky surveys.
