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). This website is maintained by Alex McEwen (alexander.mcewen (at) nanograv.org) and Evan Lewis (efl0003 (at) mix.wvu.edu).
