The radio luminosity distribution of pulsars in 47 Tucanae
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have used the Australia Telescope Compact Array to seek the integrated radio flux from all the pulsars in the core of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae. We have detected an extended region of radio emission and have calibrated its flux against the flux distribution of the known pulsars in the cluster. We find the total 20-cm radio flux from the cluster's pulsars to be S = 2.0 ± 0.3mJy. This implies the lower limit to the radio luminosity distribution to be min L 1400 = 0.4mJy kpc 2 and the size of the observable pulsar population to be N < ∼ 30.

Radio sources near the core of globular cluster 47 Tucanae
We present ATCA radio images of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae made at 1.4 and 1.7 GHz and provide an analysis of the radio sources detected within 5 ′ of the cluster centre. 11 sources are detected, most of which are clustered about the core of 47 Tuc. Both of the pulsars in 47 Tuc whose positions are known can be identified with sources in the 1.4 GHz image. The source distribution has a cha...
متن کاملOptical Detection of a Variable Millisecond Pulsar Companion in 47 Tucanae
Using results from radio and X-ray observations of millisecond pulsars in 47 Tucanae, and extensive HST U, V, I imaging of the globular cluster core, we have derived a common astrometric solution good to < 0. 1. A close positional coincidence is found for 47 Tuc U, a 4.3ms pulsar in a 0.429 day orbit, detected in radio and X-rays, with an mV = 20.9 blue star. Analysis of extensive time series d...
متن کاملMillisecond Radio Pulsars in 47 Tucanae
We review the properties of the 22 millisecond radio pulsars currently known in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, and their implications for the mass and gas content of the cluster. Further details can be found in the publications from this project to date (Camilo et al. 2000; Freire 2000; Freire et al. 2001a,b; Freire et al. 2003). Throughout the review, we look ahead to the future results anti...

Received ; accepted – 2 – ABSTRACT We have obtained deep multifrequency radio observations of seven globular clusters using the Very Large Array and the Australia Telescope Compact Terzan 5 had previously been detected in a shallower survey for steep spectrum radio sources in globular clusters (Fruchter & Goss 1990). The sixth, the rich globular cluster, Liller 1, had heretofore been undetected...
متن کاملDetection of Ionized Gas in the Globular Cluster 47 Tucanae
We report the detection of ionized intracluster gas in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae. Pulsars in this cluster with a negative period derivative, which must lie in the distant half of the cluster, have significantly higher measured integrated electron column densities than the pulsars with a positive period derivative. We derive the plasma density within the central few pc of the cluster using...
