We present the discovery of 37 pulsars from $\sim$ 20 years old archival data of the Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey using a new FFT-based search pipeline optimised for discovering narrow-duty cycle pulsars. When developing our pulsar search pipeline, we noticed that the signal-to-noise ratios of folded and optimised pulsars often exceeded that achieved in the spectral domain by a factor of two or greater, in particular for narrow duty cycle ones. Based on simulations, we verified that this is a feature of search codes that sum harmonics incoherently and found that many promising pulsar candidates are revealed when hundreds of candidates per beam with even with modest spectral signal-to-noise ratios of S/N$\sim$5--6 in higher-harmonic folds (up to 32 harmonics) are folded. Of these candidates, 37 were confirmed as new pulsars and a further 37 would have been new discoveries if our search strategies had been used at the time of their initial analysis. While 19 of these newly discovered pulsars have also been independently discovered in more recent pulsar surveys, 18 are exclusive to only the Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey data. Some of the notable discoveries include: PSRs J1635$-$47 and J1739$-$31, which show pronounced high-frequency emission; PSRs J1655$-$40 and J1843$-$08, which belong to the nulling/intermittent class of pulsars; and PSR J1636$-$51, which is an interesting binary system in a $\sim$0.75 d orbit and shows hints of eclipsing behaviour -- unusual given the 340 ms rotation period of the pulsar. Our results highlight the importance of reprocessing archival pulsar surveys and using refined search techniques to increase the normal pulsar population.

A Study of Single Pulses in the Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey
我们重新处理了帕克斯多波束脉冲星巡天,寻找DM为5000 pc cm $^{-3}$,宽度为1秒的单脉冲。我们记录了来自264个已知恒星和14个旋转射电瞬变的单脉冲。我们为每个脉冲星制作了振幅分布,我们用对数正态分布、幂律尾和幂律函数除以指数函数来拟合,发现一些脉冲星以过量高能脉冲的形式显示出偏离对数正态分布的情况。我们发现,由幂律除以指数组成的函数比对数正态函数或幂律函数更适合大多数对数正态分布。对于在周期性搜索中检测到的类星体,我们从傅立叶变换计算它们的单脉冲信噪比与它们的信噪比的比率,并寻找该比率与类星体的物理参数之间的相关性。发现的唯一相关性是该比率与自旋周期之间的预期关系。拟合对数正态分布的脉冲幅度从RRAT显示出类似的行为,大多数RRAT。然而,这里似乎有两种不同的脉冲分布,较低能量的分布与噪声一致。两个RRATS处理的脉冲能量分布是一致的,发现正常的辐射源,这表明辐射源和RRATS有一个共同的发射机制,但其他因素影响每个源类的具体发射特性。
帕克斯多波束脉冲星巡天的再处理发现了五颗以前未知的脉冲星和几颗尚未确认的候选者。PSR J 0922 -52的周期为9.68 ms,DM为122.4 pc cm^-3。PSR J1147-66的周期为3.72 ms,DM为133.8 pc cm^-3。PSR J1227-6208的周期为34.53 ms,DM为362.6 pc cm^-3,处于一个6.7天的双星轨道上,桑顿等人在进行中的高分辨率帕克斯巡天中独立探测到了它,爱因斯坦@Home志愿者也在独立处理中探测到了它。PSR J1546-59的周期为7.80 ms,DM为168.3 pc cm^-3。PSR J1725-3853是一颗孤立的4.79 ms脉冲星,DM为158.2 pc cm^-3。这些候选人可能在早期的处理工作中被遗漏,因为他们的DM很高,周期很短,而且需要浏览的候选人数量很大。这些发现表明,在多波束勘测数据中,还有待发现更多的类星体。
A new fast radio burst in the datasets containing the Lorimer burst
利用Parkes 64 m口径射电望远镜的多波束接收机,在1.4GHz的麦哲伦云观测资料中,发现了一个新的快速射电暴(FRB~010312)。这些数据集包括洛里默爆发(FRB~010724),它早于日期,我们也重新检测。新的爆发具有更高的色散测量值1187 cm $^{-3}$ pc。该爆发是迄今为止发现的最广泛的爆发之一,是已知的第二早的FRB,也是第九个发现的分散测量值大于1000 cm $^{-3}\,$ pc的FRB。我们的发现表明,在现有的帕克斯数据档案中可能还有更多的爆发事件。
