Searching for Submillisecond Pulsars from Highly Polarized Radio Sources
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 July 2016
Abstract
Pulsars are among the most highly polarized sources in the universe. The NVSS has cataloged 2 million radio sources with linear polarization measurements, from which we have selected 253 sources, with polarization percentage greater than 25%, as targets for pulsar searches. We believe that such a sample is not biased by selection effects against ultra-short spin or orbit periods. Using the Parkes 64-m telescope, we conducted searches with sample intervals of 50 μs and 80 μs, sensitive to submillisecond pulsars. Unfortunately we did not find any new pulsars.
