摘要:

我们已经进行了一个新的搜索在紧凑的双星系统中的Parkes多波束脉冲星巡天(PMPS)的数据,采用新的方法来消除多普勒调制的二进制运动。这使得对致密双星中的双星具有无与伦比的灵敏度。分布式志愿者计算项目Einstein@Home提供了大约17000 CPU核心年的计算时间,该项目具有大约1 PFlop/s的持续计算能力。在我们的搜索中,我们发现了24个新的双星,其中18个是孤立的双星,6个是双星系统的成员。尽管宽的滤波器组通道和相对较慢的采样时间的PMPS数据,我们发现具有非常大的比率的色散测量(DM)的自旋周期的恒星。PSR J1748-3009是已知DM最高的毫秒脉冲星(约420 pc/cc)。我们还发现了PSR J1840-0643,它是一个轨道周期为937天的双星系统,是已知的第四大双星系统。新的脉冲星J1750-2536可能属于罕见的中等质量双星。其中三个孤立的恒星在其发射中显示出长期的零或不稳定性,进一步增加了这个不断增长的家族。我们的发现证明了分布式志愿者计算对数据驱动天文学的价值,以及将新的分析方法应用于广泛搜索的数据的重要性。

英文摘要:

We have conducted a new search for radio pulsars in compact binary systems in the Parkes multi-beam pulsar survey (PMPS) data, employing novel methods to remove the Doppler modulation from binary motion. This has yielded unparalleled sensitivity to pulsars in compact binaries. The required computation time of approximately 17000 CPU core years was provided by the distributed volunteer computing project Einstein@Home, which has a sustained computing power of about 1 PFlop/s. We discovered 24 new pulsars in our search, of which 18 were isolated pulsars, and six were members of binary systems. Despite the wide filterbank channels and relatively slow sampling time of the PMPS data, we found pulsars with very large ratios of dispersion measure (DM) to spin period. Among those is PSR J1748-3009, the millisecond pulsar with the highest known DM (approximately 420 pc/cc). We also discovered PSR J1840-0643, which is in a binary system with an orbital period of 937 days, the fourth largest known. The new pulsar J1750-2536 likely belongs to the rare class of intermediate-mass binary pulsars. Three of the isolated pulsars show long-term nulling or intermittency in their emission, further increasing this growing family. Our discoveries demonstrate the value of distributed volunteer computing for data-driven astronomy and the importance of applying new analysis methods to extensively searched data.
