Abstract.

Observations at a frequency of 111 MHz with the Large Phased Array at the

Pushchino Radio Astronomy Observatory of the Astro Space Center of the P.N. Leb edev Physical Institute conrm the pulsed radio emission of the X-ray pulsar J1907+0919 that is a counterpart of the magnetar SGR 1900+14. Its pulsed radio emission was discovered earlier by Shitov (1999). A ux density p erio dogram is built. A new spin p erio d and ux density

Introduction
The p opulation of magnetars consists of AXP and SGR pulsars, many of which have steep radio sp ectra p eaking at low frequencies [1]. In these cases, we exp ect success in the observations of magnetars at low radio frequencies, just as earlier for AXP 1E 2259+586 and 4U 0142+61 [2]. One more radio PSR J0418+5732, which is a counterpart of SGR 0418+5729, has recently b een discovered at 111 MHz [3]. Long ago another (Shitov) radio PSR J1907+0919, the counterpart of the X-ray pulsar J1907+0919 and SGR 1900+14, was detected at 111 MHz [4, 5]. The request to conrm or refute the 111 MHz detection of PSR J1907+0919 was advanced in [6]. So, the present pap er rep orts the new observations as well as conrms the radio detection of PSR J1907+0919 and measured parameters of its radio emission.

Observations and Results
The observations have b een carried out at a frequency of 111 MHz with the Large Phased Array (LPA) at the Pushchino Radio Astronomy Observatory during the interval of 2014 April 2 - 2014 Octob er 8 (MJD 56749.161556938.6427) for 189.48 days. From this interval, 81 observational sessions were used for pro cessing. Each observational session with the LPA lasted ab out 3 min, and the total exp osure came to 243 min. The eective area was ab out 2.1 Ч 104 m2 , and HPBW was 48.0 Ч 33.5 . The sensitivity of the system came to 50 mJy

in a frequency band of 1 Hz and at a time constant of 1 s. A digital 512-channel receiver with a bandwidth of 2.560 MHz and sampling time of 2.5 ms was used. Each individual channel had a bandwidth of 5 kHz. The op eration of the system was checked by observing some strong pulsars with well-known ux densities at 111 MHz. Impulsive RFI and bad channels were excluded from the observational data. To pro cess the data, the Fast Folding Algorithm was applied [7], which signicantly diers from the pro cessing metho d used in [4, 5]. During the pro cessing the disp ersion measure was xed to b e the same as in Shitov's measurements, -3 i.e., DM = 281.4 + 0.9 p c cm .

Figure 1: The PSR J1907+0919 average periodogram for 189.5 days at 111 MHz as ux density vs. period with a step of 1.26 ms. Period is given at MJD 56834.6. The signal-to-noise ratio, S/N, is 11 + 0.5 in the maximum, where N is one standard error.
The average p erio dogram of PSR J1907+0919 is shown in Fig. 1. There is broadening of the pulse prole, which is probably due to a quasi-p erio dic character of the radio emission. We detect the p erio d of PSR J1907+0919 to b e 5.22756(42) s at MJD 56834.6, where 56834.6 is the averaged value in the total observational interval 56749.161556938.6427 (MJD), and an error was taken as 1/3 of the p erio dogram step (Fig. 1). The measured radio emission ux density is of the ux densities (<
