- Description:
- The Australia Telescope National Facility (ATNF) Pulsar Catalog is a catalog of known pulsars compiled by R.N. Manchester et al. and is descended from pulsar database used for the paper "Catalog of 558 Pulsars" by J.H. Taylor, R.N. Manchester and A.G. Lyne 1993, ApJS, 88, 529-568. The current catalog has been supplemented by inclusion of published data from more recent radio surveys, in particular, the Parkes Multibeam (PM) Pulsar Survey (Manchester et al. 2001, MNRAS, 328, 17-35) [available at the HEASARC as the PMPULSAR table] and the Swinburne Intermediate Latitude Pulsar Survey (Edwards et al. 2001, MNRAS, 326, 358-374), both made using the ATNF Parkes 64-m radio telescope. Binary parameters for known binary pulsars are also included as well as all available astrometric and spin parameter information for all pulsars. The catalog includes all published rotation-powered pulsars. Two separate small subsets of pulsars detected only at high energies are also included in the current table: the first group comprises X-ray and gamma-ray pulsars which are apparently powered by spin-down energy, but which have not been detected at radio wavelengths, while the second group contains anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) and soft-gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs) for which coherent pulsations have been detected. Accretion-powered pulsars such as Her X-1 and the recently discovered X-ray millisecond pulsars such as SAX J1808.4-3658 are not included in this table, however. Many people have contributed to the compilation of the data contained in this catalog and the database that it was derived from. The authors particularly thank Andrew Lyne of the University of Manchester, Jodrell Bank Observatory, David Nice of Princeton University, and Russell Edwards, then at Swinburne University of Technology. The also acknowledge the efforts of Warwick University students Adam Goode and Steven Thomas who compiled and checked a recent version of the database. The original (summer 2003) database at the ATNF website was compiled with the invaluable assistance of Maryam Hobbs, while the ATNF web interface was designed and constructed by Albert Teoh, a Summer Vacation Scholar at the ATNF in 2002/2003. The authors would appreciate if anyone making use of this catalog in a publication acknowledges the source of their information by quoting the ATNF Pulsar Catalog website address of <a href="http://www.atnf.csiro.au/research/pulsar/psrcat/">http://www.atnf.csiro.au/research/pulsar/psrcat/</a> This database table was initially created by the HEASARC in January 2002. It was revised in March 2002, in June 2003, and again in January 2014. It is based on the table obtained from <a href="http://www.atnf.csiro.au/research/pulsar/psrcat/expert.html">http://www.atnf.csiro.au/research/pulsar/psrcat/expert.html</a>. <p> Changes to the catalog are logged at <a href="http://www.atnf.csiro.au/research/pulsar/psrcat/catalogueHistory.html">http://www.atnf.csiro.au/research/pulsar/psrcat/catalogueHistory.html</a>. <p> The HEASARC table will be updated on a weekly basis whenever the original ATNF database table is updated.

- Title:
- CGRO/BATSE Pulsar Observations
- Short Name:
- BATSEPULSR
- Date:
- 11 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- BATSE data are divided into four groups: trigger, daily, occultation, and pulsar. Each group has structured directories beneath it containing data ordered by an appropriate criterion. Typically, several files of data are necessary to form a complete set of data for a particular entity. The BATSE pulsar data are organized similarly to the OCCULTATION data set, with the difference being in the filename extensions: 'olc' files contain on-board folded light curves, whereas 'pll' files (available in the HEASARC anonymous FTP area, but not via this database table) contain pulsar low level data. This database table allows the user to select 'olc' files or GIFs created from these files for 8 out of the several dozen pulsars for which BATSE data are available. This database table was created by the HEASARC based on information supplied by the CGRO Project. The last update was in March 2003. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Crab Pulsar Timing
- Short Name:
- CRABTIME
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The CRABTIME database contains the Crab Pulsar Monthly Ephemeris covering the period from Feb 15 1982 (MJD=45015) to (close to) the present that was created Dr. Andrew Lyne and collaborators at Jodrell Bank Observatory. This database is periodically updated to include recent data as these become available. To assist astronomers, the HEASARC has created two new parameters which were not present in the original Jodrell Bank tables, the pulsar period and its first derivative, using the standard relations between period (P) and frequency 'Nu' (P=1./Nu) and their first derivatives (P_dot = -Nu_dot/Nu<sup>2</sup>). The assumed pulsar position used in the reductions is <pre> RA (1950.0) 05 31 31.406 DEC (1950.0) +21 58 54.391 RA (2000.0) 05 34 31.973 DEC (2000.0) +22 00 52.061 </pre> This HEASARC version of the "Jodrell Bank Crab Pulsar Timing Results, Monthly Ephemeris" is updated within one week of any changes to the tables available on the Web at <a href="http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/pulsar/crab.html">http://www.jb.man.ac.uk/pulsar/crab.html</a>.

- Title:
- Fermi LAT Second Catalog of Gamma-Ray Pulsars (2PC)
- Short Name:
- FERMIL2PSR
- Date:
- 11 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This catalog summarizes 0.1 GeV gamma-ray pulsar detections using data acquired by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi satellite. These pulsars are neutron stars identified using LAT data through periodicity searches in gamma-ray and radio data around LAT unassociated source positions. The catalogued pulsars are divided into three groups: millisecond pulsars, young radio-loud pulsars, and young radio-quiet pulsars. This catalog summarizes results of the analysis of pulse profiles and energy spectra, and analysis of the off-peak phase intervals, and compares the gamma-ray properties with those in the radio, optical, and X-ray bands. Flux limits for pulsars with no observed gamma-ray emission are provided. This database was constructed by the HEASARC by combining the tabulated data in the psrcat.dat, spec.dat, offpk.dat and refs.dat obtained from <a href="http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013yCat..22080017A">http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013yCat..22080017A</a>.

- Parkes Multibeam Survey New Pulsar Catalog
- Short Name:
- Parkes
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The Parkes Multibeam (PM) Pulsar Survey uses the 20 cm multibeam receiver system and multibeam filter banks, digitizer and data-acquisition system to survey a region within |b| < 5 degrees in the inner Galactic plane for pulsars, many of which will be young and/or short-period. This survey is a factor of 7 times more sensitive to young and distant pulsars than that of Johnston et al. (1992, MNRAS, 255, 401) which detected 100 pulsars. The present source list contains pulsars that have been newly discovered in the course of this survey. The PM Survey is specifically targeted for (i) obscured regions of the Galactic plane, (ii) young pulsars,and (iii) binary pulsars with massive companions. As of August 1999, analysis of about 50% of the total expected data to be collected has resulted in the confirmed detection of over 400 new pulsars (an increase of more than 50% of the known population). Here are some of the features of the PM Survey: <pre> Survey Area: -260 < l < 50 deg , -5 < b < 5 deg Center Frequency: 1374 MHz Bandwidth: 288 MHz (96 channels x 3 MHz per channel x 2 polarizations) Sampling Rate: 0.25 ms x 1 bit per channel Integration Time: 35 min per pointing (13 beams per pointing) Data Storage: DLT tape (about 35 GB per tape) Sensitivity: about 7 times better than previous 400 MHz surveys </pre> This database table was initially created by the HEASARC in December 2001 and revised in March 2002. The contents of the table are based on the file <a href="http://www.atnf.csiro.au/research/pulsar/pmsurv/pmpsrs.db">http://www.atnf.csiro.au/research/pulsar/pmsurv/pmpsrs.db</a> on the authors' website.
