The Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey - II. Discovery and timing of 120 pulsars
Abstract
The Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey is a sensitive survey of a strip of the Galactic plane with |b| < 5° and 260° < l < 50° at 1374 MHz. Here we report the discovery of 120 new pulsars and subsequent timing observations, primarily using the 76-m Lovell radio telescope at Jodrell Bank. The main features of the sample of 370 published pulsars discovered during the multibeam survey are described. Furthermore, we highlight two pulsars: PSR J1734-3333, a young pulsar with the second highest surface magnetic field strength among the known radio pulsars, Bs= 5.4 × 1013 G, and PSR J1830-1135, the second slowest radio pulsar known, with a 6-s period.
