Title: | An algorithm for determining the rotation count of pulsars | Authors: | Freire, Paulo C. C. RIDOLFI, ALESSANDRO |
Issue Date: | 2018 | Journal: | MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY | Number: | 476 | Issue: | 4 | First Page: | 4794 | Abstract: | We present here a simple, systematic method for determining the correct global rotation count of a radio pulsar; an essential step for the derivation of an accurate phase-coherent ephemeris. We then build on this method by developing a new algorithm for determining the global rotational count for pulsars with sparse timing data sets. This makes it possible to obtain phase-coherent ephemerides for pulsars for which this has been impossible until now. As an example, we do this for PSR J0024-7205aa, an extremely faint Millisecond pulsar (MSP) recently discovered in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae. This algorithm has the potential to significantly reduce the number of observations and the amount of telescope time needed to follow up on new pulsar discoveries. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/32442 | URL: | https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/476/4/4794/4911536 | ISSN: | 0035-8711 | DOI: | 10.1093/mnras/sty524 | Bibcode ADS: | 2018MNRAS.476.4794F | Fulltext: | open |
