Scientific paper

The Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope is an interferometer that is used to study the radio universe at meter wavelengths. The 30 dishes, each of 45 meter diameter, work together to provide a more detailed view of our universe then a single dish of larger size. Located 50 miles north of Pune, India, the telescope lies in a remote region situated away from major sources of man-made interference and is ideal for pulsar searches. In this survey, we scanned the Galactic plane from Galactic longitudes 45°< l < 135° and the Galactic latitudes |b|< 1° at a radio frequency of 610 MHz. The data were acquired from the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope and then processed using fast Fourier transform and single pulse search. We report the discovery of new pulsars in this region of space. Calculations of these objects’ properties, such as characteristic age and magnetic field strength were performed, so that better models of the Galactic pulsar population may be created and that they can be compared to other types of compact objects.
