GBT820 Discoveries

Discoveries made by the GBT 820 MHz Cygnus Survey. This survey, which began in 2016, covers a region of the sky from 75° ≤ l ≤ 94° and -3° ≤ b ≤ 6 °. Roughly 60% of the survey observations have been completed. The Cygnus region is known to be stellar-rich, and is expected to contain many new pulsars. Data processing using a PRESTO-based search pipeline was conducted on the Béluga HPC, and reprocessing is currently underway using PEASOUP. This survey has found 6 unique pulsars and co-discovered J2057+4701 with the CHIME collaboration (Dong et al. 2023). Initial results from the survey will be published in 2023 (McEwen et al, in prep).
