Dispersion and Pulse Length of the Pulsating Radio Source PSR 1749–28

Abstract

Turtle and Vaughan1 discovered the pulsar PSR 1749–28 and measured its position coordinates at the Molonglo Radio Observatory. This pulsar is particularly interesting because it is situated only 2 degrees from the direction of the galactic centre. Observations have now been made to determine the frequency drift rate and pulse length of PSR 1749–28.
