Continuing the PALFA Galactic Plane Survey

We propose to continue the PALFA survey of the Arecibo-visible Galactic Plane. The most sensitive pulsar survey ever done, PALFA is yielding high-impact science in a variety of astrophysical fields, including: fast radio bursts, high-precision tests of relativistic gravity theories, constraints on the equation-of-state of supra-nuclear matter, detectability of gravitational waves, and unification of the neutron star zoo. Additionally this survey constrains fundamental properties of the overall neutron-star population. PALFA has already discovered 132 pulsars, nearly doubling the number known in the survey region. For the coming year, we request a total of 272 hr of inner Galaxy time in order to complete our survey to |b|<2.0 deg, as well as to be secondary commensal partners with ongoing surveys of the outer Galactic Plane. With the requested inner Galaxy time we expect to discover an additional 40-80 radio pulsars and constrain models of the Galactic distribution of pulsars.
