Searching for Radio Millisecond Pulsars in a New Set of Fermi Sources

Fermi has revolutionized our understanding of the GeV sky, and provided a map for finding new radio millisecond pulsars. In the past four years, radio astronomers have discovered 60 MSPs in searches of Fermi unassociated sources. Most of these pulsars were discovered and followed-up by the "Pulsar Search Consortium" from sources detected in the Fermi all-sky catalog. We propose searches on a new, different set of Fermi sources detected using non-standard Fermi all-sky analysis, optimized to detect sources with pulsar-like spectra. As these are faint Fermi sources with large errors, most will require a four-pointing grid search, even at 327 MHz, to cover the gamma-ray error box. We propose 24 hours of Arecibo time to perform the grid searches, plus time for a confirmation observation if needed. We will also search for giant pulses from any new MSP we discover.
