Detection of radio pulsations from the direction of the NuSTAR 3.76 second X-ray pulsar at 8.35 GHz
Abstract
As part of continued efforts to detect radio pulsations from the 3.76-second X-ray pulsar discovered with the NuSTAR telescope (ATels #5020, #5027, #5033, #5035), we have performed a ~2.5 hour observation with the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR) Effelsberg radio telescope at a central frequency of 8.35 GHz. This observation was performed at these observing frequencies to mitigate the expected strong scattering of radio waves in the Galactic Centre region (scattering time ~ freq.^-4).
