A 350-MHz Green Bank Telescope Survey of Unassociated Fermi LAT Sources: Discovery and Timing of Ten Millisecond Pulsars

We have searched for radio pulsations towards 49 Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) 1FGL Catalog -ray sources using the Green Bank Telescope at 350 MHz. We detected 18 millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in blind searches of the data; 10 of these were discoveries unique to our survey. Sixteen are binaries, with eight having short orbital periods PB < 1 day. No radio pulsations from young pulsars were detected, although three targets are coincident with apparently radio-quiet -ray pulsars discovered in LAT data. Here, we give an overview of the survey and present radio and -ray timing results for the 10 MSPs discovered. These include the only isolated MSP discovered in our survey and six short-PB binary MSPs. Of these, three have very low-mass companions (Mc 0. 1M_) and hence belong to the class of black widow pulsars. Two have more massive, non-degenerate companions with extensive radio eclipses and orbitally modulated X-ray emission consistent with the redback class. Significant -ray pulsations have been detected from nine of the discoveries. This survey and similar efforts suggest that the majority of Galactic -ray sources at high Galactic latitudes are either MSPs or relatively nearby non-recycled pulsars, with the latter having on average a much smaller radio/-ray beaming ratio as compared to MSPs. It also confirms that past surveys suffered from an observational bias against finding short-PB MSP systems.
