摘要
We present the discovery of 5 millisecond pulsars found in the mid-Galactic latitude portion of the High Time Resolution Universe (HTRU) Survey. The pulsars have rotational periods from similar to 2.3 ms to similar to 7.5 ms, and all are in binary systems with orbital periods ranging from similar to 0.3 to similar to 150 d. In four of these systems, the most likely companion is a white dwarf, with minimum masses of similar to 0.2 M-circle dot. The other pulsar, J1731-1847, has a very low mass companion and exhibits eclipses, and is thus a member of the "black widow" class of pulsar binaries. These new discoveries occupy a short-period and high-dispersion measure (DM) region of parameter space, which we demonstrate is a direct consequence of the high time and frequency resolution of the HTRU survey.
