Detailed Description of B/psr :

Note : this is the description file of the original catalog.
This HTML page corresponds well to the original description, but some minor
changes in the format may have been introduced in the FITS output
files in order to allow for arithmetic operations on quantities
such as coordinates and times. h:m:s and d:m:s units are normally
converted into degrees, and YYYY-MM-DD into julian days.
Similarly, some slight changes may have been introduced in the
units; the value given in the HTML files supersedes the value indicated in the ReadMe
file for this catalogue.

ADC_Keywords: Pulsars ; Radio sources ; Proper motions
Keywords: pulsars: general - astronomical databases: catalogs
Description:
The catalogue is a compilation of the principal observed parameters of
pulsars, including positions, timing parameters, pulse widths, flux
densities, proper motions, distances, and dispersion, rotation, and
scattering measures. It also lists the orbital elements of binary
pulsars, and some commonly used parameters derived from the basic
measurements.
The catalogue includes all published rotation-powered pulsars,
including those detected only at high energies. It also includes
Anomalous X-ray Pulsars (AXPs) and Soft Gamma-ray Repeaters (SGRs) for
which coherent pulsations have been detected. However, it excludes
accretion-powered pulsars such as Her X-1 and the recently discovered
X-ray millisecond pulsars.
PLEASE NOTE:
If you make use of the ATNF Pulsar Catalogue in a publication, we
request that you acknowledge the source of the information by
referencing the paper: Manchester, R. N., Hobbs, G. B., Teoh, A. &
Hobbs, M., Astron. J., 129, 1993-2006 (2005) (arXiv:astro-ph/0412641),
which gives a full description of the catalogue, and by quoting the
web address http://www.atnf.csiro.au/research/pulsar/psrcat. Where
practicable, please list the original references for data used.
