Proposal Title: Timing of Three Recently Discovered Pulsars
ABSTRACT:
We request monthly timing observations of three pulsars recently discovered in Arecibo searches. The rst two of
these pulsars, J1740+1000 and J1849+2423, were discovered in AO upgrade driftscan searches, while the third,
J1907+0918, was discovered in a search for radio pulsations from SGR 1900+14. PSR J1740+1000 is a young,
high-velocity pulsar. Using Arecibo timing and eventual VLBA, we aim to calculate both an accurate velocity and
distance to this pulsar, placing important constraints on the high-velocity tail of the pulsar velocity distribution.
This is important for models of core collapse processes in supernovae and for a complete census of pulsar
population. PSR ~ J1907+0918 is a very young pulsar with a possible associated supernova remnant. Timing
observations will allow us to calculate a proper motion and determine whether this pulsar, and not SGR 1900+14,
is associated with the remnant. If so, this has important implications for evolutionary scenarios of SGRs.
