Millisecond Radio Pulsars in 47 Tucanae

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We review the properties of the 22 millisecond radio pulsars currently known in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, and their implications for the mass and gas content of the cluster. Further details can be found in the publications from this project to date (Camilo et al. 2000; Freire 2000; Freire et al. 2001a,b; Freire et al. 2003). Throughout the review, we look ahead to the future results anticipated from this fascinating cluster.
