Parkes radio searches of Fermi gamma-ray sources and millisecond pulsar discoveries

Understand

In a search with the Parkes radio telescope of 56 unidentified Fermi-LAT gamma-ray sources, we have detected 11 millisecond pulsars (MSPs), 10 of them discoveries, of which five were reported in Kerr et al.

• (2012).
• We did not detect radio pulsations from another six pulsars now known in these sources.
• We describe the completed survey, which included multiple observations of many targets done to minimize the impact of interstellar scintillation, acceleration effects in binary systems, and eclipses.
