Proposal Title: Conrmation of Pulsars with Possible EGRET Associations
ABSTRACT:
We are conducting a survey of 54 unidentied high-energy EGRET gamma-ray sources to search for radio
pulsations with the Parkes Multibeam system. The multibeam system allows us to make comparatively long
integrations (35 min) while still achieving good coverage of the large EGRET error boxes. In particular, we are
searching a population of EGRET sources whose distribution is consistent with the Galactic Halo and the Gould
Belt, as opposed to other populations of EGRET sources, whose distribution is either isotropic (suggesting an
extra-Galactic source) or along the Galactic Plane. Analysis of these observations is approximately halfway
complete and we have a number of interesting pulsar candidates. As some of these candidates are also visible from
Arecibo, we request conrmation observations of three candidates with the Arecibo telescope, whose much smaller
beam size at L-band would also greatly constrain the position of any conrmed pulsar.
