    Pulsar
In summary, The conversation is about locating a particular pulsar with the original designation CP1133. The pulsar has a radio period of 1 hertz and is believed to be relatively close to Earth. The galactic latitude, longitude, and distance of the pulsar can be found on a website provided by Meteor. The conversation also mentions that Sten Odenwald has information about the pulsar in his book and that NASA's internet catalog, Simbad, also has information on the pulsar. Further references and papers on PSR1133+16's single pulse characteristics can also be found.

I'm still trying to locate a particular pulsar which had (in 1972) the original designation CP1133. :confused:

Does anyone here happen to have a catalog or reference which will allow me to find which pulsar (or the current designation & info on such pulsar) that had an original (early 1970's) designation as CP1133 ?

This pulsar had a radio period of about 1 hertz; specifically 1.1879 sec.
I believe it was relatively close to earth.

Thanks,

Creator

This page gives the galactic latitude and galactic longitude of the pulsar that you search, and also its distance

Much Thanks Meteor! I had no idea that Sten Odenwald had 'my' pulsar by some coincidence in his book. (How'd you ever come up with that cross-reference?) In the mean time I had also received an e-mail from a NASA site manager identifying it as PSR1133+16 from a search he did on the internet catalog 'Simbad'. However, Simbad seems so complex you'd need to take a six month course ( exagerating :wink: ) just to figure how to do a search for other physical parameters. You have supplied a pertinent one , distance... 130 parsecs.
However, I'd like to get any other particulars that may be available.
Thanks again.

OK, now that I have the correct designation, I was able to find some further references on papers concerning PSR1133+16's single pulse characteristics, (from the Astophysical Journal,etc.); interesting. :cool:
