Abstract:
We present an up-to-date compilation of the principal observed
parameters of 558 pulsars, including positions, timing parameters,
pulse widths, flux densities, proper motions, distances, and
dispersion, rotation, and scattering measures. We also list the
orbital elements of binary pulsars and some commonly used parameters
derived from the basic measurements. Uncertainties are quoted for most
quantities, and references to the original literature are given.
Figures are used to illustrate the sample distributions of some of the
more important parameters. Machine-readable versions of the tabulated
information are available, together with software designed to make the
data base useful to others working in the field.
Keywords:
catalogs -- pulsars: general
Description:
The files listed below represent the Pulsar data base maintained by
the authors and containing essentially all the pulsar parameters
known to them -- including celestial coordinates and proper motions,
periods and period derivatives, dispersion, rotation, and scattering
measures, pulse widths, flux densities, distances, and binary
orbital parameters. Included are several short FORTRAN routines to
provide easy access to the data base file. See the file 'readme'
for instructions from the authors for installing, compiling and
using the pulsar data base.
