GBT21A-405

A New Double Neutron Star from the GBT 820-MHz Pulsar Pilot Survey?

Abstract

We request 2.5 hr of GBT observations at 820 MHz to determine the position of J2035+36 and figure out whether it is in a binary system. This source is one of the first notable discoveries of the GBT 820-MHz Pulsar Survey of the Cygnus region, which probes a rich but neglected part of the Galaxy. J2035+36 has a period of only 24 ms and is therefore likely either a ``partially recycled" system (potentially orbiting a neutron star) or a very young pulsar: either would be of considerable interest. With the preliminary observations requested here we will also confirm additional candidates from the survey and prepare for an in-depth timing proposal to be submitted for the next semester.
