Scientific paper

Because ordinary pulsars are distributed in the Galaxy like their massive progenitor stars, sensitive searches for them have been concentrated in the Galactic plane. The greater age and scale height of millisecond pulsars, in contrast, suggest that their local population should be fairly isotropic. We have used the Arecibo radio telescope to search for pulsars in 180 square degrees of sky at high Galactic latitude. We have found two new "slow" pulsars, in addition to detecting the one previously known pulsar in our survey region, but no new millisecond pulsars. The implications for millisecond pulsar population modeling are discussed.
