Improved Parameters for Seven Pulsars

Abstract

POSITIONS, pulse periods and mean pulse energies are important parameters of pulsars. For many pulsars, particularly those discovered at the Molonglo Radio Observatory, the right ascension measurement has small error limits while the declination is not well determined. Observations at 410 MHz using the 300 foot transit telescope of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory have therefore been undertaken to determine more accurate declinations and periods for several pulsars. Mean pulse energies at 410 MHz have also been measured.
