Searching for Millisecond Pulsars in Globular Clusters at Parkes: Further Results

We have discovered 12 new millisecond pulsars in 6 globular clusters in which no pulsars were previously known, in the first two years of a search at 1.4 GHz in progress at the Parkes radio telescope. Here we briefly describe the motivation, the new hardware and software systems adopted for this sur...

Description
Summary:We have discovered 12 new millisecond pulsars in 6 globular clusters in which no pulsars were previously known, in the first two years of a search at 1.4 GHz in progress at the Parkes radio telescope. Here we briefly describe the motivation, the new hardware and software systems adopted for this survey, and we present the results obtained thus far.
