“…While the Square Kilometre Array [154] is not expected to be completed until 2020, a number of pathfinder instruments are now under development. In China, the Five hundred meter Aperture Spherical Telescope [105] is scheduled for completion in 2013 and will provide significant advances for pulsar research [266]. The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder, will have some applications as a pulsar instrument [164].…”

We review the main properties, demographics and applications of binary and millisecond radio pulsars. Our knowledge of these exciting objects has greatly increased in recent years, mainly due to successful surveys which have brought the known pulsar population to over 1800. There are now 83 binary and millisecond pulsars associated with the disk of our Galaxy, and a further 140 pulsars in 26 of the Galactic globular clusters. Recent highlights include the discovery of the young relativistic binary system PSR J1906+0746, a rejuvination in globular cluster pulsar research including growing numbers of pulsars with masses in excess of 1.5 M⊙, a precise measurement of relativistic spin precession in the double pulsar system and a Galactic millisecond pulsar in an eccentric (e = 0.44) orbit around an unevolved companion.Electronic Supplementary MaterialSupplementary material is available for this article at 10.12942/lrr-2008-8.

“…So we put the known sample in different regions by rotating around the Galactic Center by an angle  of 45°, 90°, 135° and 180°, and we get the samples 1, 2, 3 and 4 as shown in Figure 4. Pulsars in these regions can be observed by the telescopes in the northern hemisphere, such as FAST [10].…”

Radio detection of pulsars in the Galactic disk is strongly affected by the dispersion and scattering effect of the interstellar medium and the Galactic background radio emission. In order to know the best conditions for discovery of pulsars, we select and simulate pulsar samples in the Galactic disk, and calculate the detection probability with various observation conditions (such as observational frequency, telescope aperture, receiver bandwidth and integration time). We have found that the detection fraction increases with the telescope aperture, receiver bandwidth and integration time. To detect pulsars in the nearer half of the Galactic disk, the observation frequency should be in the range of 1-2 GHz, while for pulsars in the farther half of the disk, the frequency should be in the range of 3.5-4.5 GHz. Due to the strong influence of scattering, the short period pulsars are hard to be detected, especially for pulsars in the farther half of the Galactic disk.pulsars, neutron stars, radio telescopes, scattering of electromagnetic radiation in plasmas PACS: 97.60.
