Title: | Discovery of two new pulsars in 47 Tucanae (NGC 104) | Authors: | Pan, Z. Hobbs, G. Li, D. RIDOLFI, ALESSANDRO Wang, P. Freire, P. |
Issue Date: | 2016 | Journal: | MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY | Number: | 459 | Issue: | 1 | First Page: | L26 | Abstract: | We report the discovery of two new millisecond pulsars (PSRs J0024-7204aa and J0024-7204ab) in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae (NGC 104). Our results bring the total number of pulsars in 47 Tucanae to 25. These pulsars were discovered by reprocessing archival observations from the Parkes radio telescope. We reprocessed the data using a standard search procedure based on the PRESTO software package as well as using a new method in which we incoherently added the power spectra corresponding to ∼1100 h of observations. The newly discovered PSR J0024-7204aa, has a pulse frequency of ∼541 Hz (corresponding to a ∼1.84 ms period), which is higher than any other pulsars currently known in the cluster and ranks 12th amongst all the currently known pulsars. The dispersion measure of this pulsar, 24.941(7) cm<SUP>-3</SUP> pc, is the highest in the cluster. The second discovered pulsar, PSR J0024-7204ab, is an isolated pulsar with a pulse frequency of ∼270 Hz (corresponding to a period of ∼3.70 ms). | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/32520 | URL: | https://academic.oup.com/mnrasl/article/459/1/L26/2589562 | ISSN: | 0035-8711 | DOI: | 10.1093/mnrasl/slw037 | Bibcode ADS: | 2016MNRAS.459L..26P | Fulltext: | open |
