Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around locating the pulsar originally designated as CP1133, which was noted for its radio period of approximately 1.1879 seconds. Participants seek current designations and additional information about this pulsar, including its distance from Earth.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • The original designation CP1133 is being sought for a pulsar with a radio period of about 1 hertz.
  • One participant provides a link to a page that includes the galactic latitude, longitude, and distance of the pulsar.
  • Another participant confirms the current designation as PSR1133+16, found through a NASA site manager and the Simbad catalog.
  • There is mention of the complexity of using the Simbad catalog for further searches on physical parameters.
  • Further references regarding PSR1133+16's single pulse characteristics have been found in academic papers.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the current designation of the pulsar as PSR1133+16, but there is no consensus on the ease of accessing additional information from the Simbad catalog.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights the challenges in navigating complex astronomical databases for detailed information on pulsars.

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:
