No Pulsar Left Behind: Confirmation and Timing of Newly Discovered Pulsars

Abstract

We request 16 hours of time on the GBT to time pulsars discovered in the AO327 pulsar survey and 10 hours to confirm pulsar candidates discovered by students in the Pulsar Science Collaboratory program. The 10 hours of confirmation time will only be scheduled if pulsar candidates are identified before the 26A semester. We will use either the 350 or 820 MHz receiver and the VEGAS backend for both the timing and confirmation observations.
