In observations with the NRAO Green Bank Telescope at 2 GHz, we have detected radio pulsations from PSR J1747-2809. The pulsar has a rotation period of 52 ms, and a spin-down luminosity of 4.3e37 erg/s, the second largest among known Galactic pulsars. With a dispersion measure of 1133 pc/cc, PSR J1747-2809 is distant, at ~13 kpc according to the NE2001 electron density model, although it could be located as close as the Galactic center. The pulse profile is greatly scatter-broadened at a frequency of 2 GHz, so that it is effectively undetectable at 1.4 GHz, and is very faint, with period-averaged flux density of 40 uJy at 2 GHz.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-07-01T04:23:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "supernova remnant", "nrao green bank telescope", "ne2001 electron density model", "central energetic pulsar", "detected radio pulsations" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "The Astrophysical Journal", "year": 2009, "month": "Jul", "volume": 700, "number": 1 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 823505, "adsabs": "2009ApJ...700L..34C" } } }
