A Bright Millisecond Radio Burst of Extragalactic Origin
- D. Lorimer, M. Bailes, M. Mclaughlin, D. J. Narkevic, F. Crawford
- Physics, Medicine
- Science
- 27 September 2007
Pulsar surveys offer a rare opportunity to monitor the radio sky for impulsive burst-like events with millisecond durations. We analyzed archival survey data and found a 30-jansky dispersed burst,… Expand
A statistical study of 233 pulsar proper motions
- G. Hobbs, D. Lorimer, A. Lyne, M. Kramer
- Physics
- 26 April 2005
We present and analyse a catalogue of 233 pulsars with proper motion measurements. The sample contains a wide variety of pulsars including recycled objects and those associated with globular clusters… Expand
An increased estimate of the merger rate of double neutron stars from observations of a highly relativistic system
- M. Burgay, N. D'Amico, +10 authors D. Lorimer
- Physics, Medicine
- Nature
- 2 December 2003
The merger of close binary systems containing two neutron stars should produce a burst of gravitational waves, as predicted by the theory of general relativity. A reliable estimate of the… Expand
Multifrequency flux density measurements of 280 pulsars
- D. Lorimer, J. A. Yates, A. Lyne, D. Gould
- Physics
- 15 March 1995
A Radio Pulsar/X-ray Binary Link
- A. Archibald, I. Stairs, +15 authors R. Remillard
- Physics, Medicine
- Science
- 20 May 2009
From X-ray Binary to Pulsar Pulsars with millisecond rotational periods are thought to originate from neutron stars in low-mass x-ray binaries that had their spin frequencies increased by… Expand
Multifrequency Observations of Radio Pulse Broadening and Constraints on Interstellar Electron Density Microstructure
- N. Bhat, J. Cordes, F. Camilo, D. Nice, D. Lorimer
- Physics
- 7 January 2004
We have made observations of 98 low Galactic latitude pulsars to measure pulse broadening caused by multipath propagation through the interstellar medium. Data were collected with the 305 m Arecibo… Expand
Tests of General Relativity from Timing the Double Pulsar
The double pulsar system PSR J0737-3039A/B is unique in that both neutron stars are detectable as radio pulsars. They are also known to have much higher mean orbital velocities and accelerations than… Expand
The pulsar spectral index distribution
- S. Bates, D. Lorimer, J. Verbiest
- Physics
- 8 February 2013
The flux density spectra of radio pulsars are known to be steep and, to first order, described by a power-law relationship of the form S_{\nu} \propto \nu^{\alpha}, where S_{\nu} is the flux density… Expand
The Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey - VI. Discovery and timing of 142 pulsars and a Galactic population analysis
- D. Lorimer, A. Faulkner, +11 authors F. Crawford
- Physics
- 28 July 2006
We present the discovery and follow-up observations of 142 pulsars found in the Parkes 20-cm multibeam pulsar survey of the Galactic plane. These new discoveries bring the total number of pulsars… Expand
ON PULSAR DISTANCE MEASUREMENTS AND THEIR UNCERTAINTIES
- J. Verbiest, J. M. Weisberg, A. Chael, K. J. Lee, D. Lorimer
- Physics
- 3 June 2012
Accurate distances to pulsars can be used for a variety of studies of the Galaxy and its electron content. However, most distance measures to pulsars have been derived from the absorption (or lack… Expand
