Article Summary
The article, ‘Eight New Radio Pulsars in the Large Magellanic Cloud,’ by Ridley and
others reports that the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) are different from
the Milky Way because they have irregular galaxies with a slight difference in the star formation
history. They are important in pulsar searches because they serve as the interesting targets in the
whole process. The article argues that thirteen radio pulsars have been discovered in LMC from
the previous pulsar researches of the Magellanic Clouds (MC). This discovery has also helped in
the discovery of double rotating X-ray pulsars, which has increased the total number of rotation-
powered LMC pulsars to fifteen. In addition, through the surveys, five radio pulsars have been
discovered, increasing the number of radio pulsars in the MC to twenty.
Along the plane of the Galaxy, pulsar surveys have been carried out using the Parkes 20-
cm multibeam receiver. Successful surveys are done in the MCs, as well as intermediate and
high Galactic latitudes. The surveys have led additional discoveries because of a number of
reasons. The improved search algorithms, as well as computer processing capabilities, have been
of great significance in the restructuring of the diverse Parkes Multibeam Surveys. The most
notable one involves the Galactic plane survey. The LMC has been discovered to have eight new
radio pulsars. The redesigning of the Parkes survey instrument of the MCs helped discover five
out of the eight latest radio pulsars in LMC.

The remaining three were discovered from the continuing new analysis at Parkes that
involved the use of high-resolution information acquirement system. The main reason for not
discovering them early is due to the visual judgment, radio frequency interference, or the high
number of contenders in the whole process. For instance, one of the new pulsars, believed to be
the most remote LMC pulsar, was estimated to have a dispersal gauge of 273pc/cm, which is
higher than the previously known value. The five separate searches were performed using both
novel and archived data, leading to discovery of these latest pulsars in the SMC and LMC. The
data was reprocessed and searched using three sets of investigation parameters from the Parkes
research instrument.
The process used three stages in which the first phase focused on low dispersion
measures using a broad, coarse acceleration search. The second stage had a fine acceleration
search because it lengthened the scope of DM to 800pc/cm, leading to refined results. The third
search targeted the beams, assumed to contain HMXBs (high-mass X-ray binaries) in the LMC,
using archival data. Data from the three stages was then reprocessed using an intensive
acceleration search. The Parkes Telescope was used to process the new data from a new high-
resolution research of the LMC and a deep exploration of an X-ray peak source in the SMC.
The identification of the eight new pulsars has led to an increase in the quantity of known
LMC pulsar population to twenty-three. It shows a fifty percent increase in LMC pulsars. The
luminosity function is consistent between the LMC pulsars and that of regular pulsars in the
Galaxy. Further research is being done to help discover the complete study of fine BPSR
research of the LMC. The goal of the research is to include a profound and inclusive survey of
the whole galaxy.
