We have discovered 12 new millisecond pulsars in 6 globular clusters in which no pulsars were previously known, in the first two years of a search at 1.4 GHz in progress at the Parkes radio telescope. Here we briefly describe the…

We report the discovery of two new millisecond pulsars (PSRs J0024$-$7204aa and J0024$-$7204ab) in the globular cluster 47\,Tucanae (NGC 104). Our results bring the total number of pulsars in 47\,Tucanae to 25. These pulsars were discovered…

47 Tucanae is one of the largest, brightest, and closest globular clusters to Earth. It hosts an exotic stellar population with stellar dynamics that indicate a complex evolution history. The cluster contains a large number of X-ray…

The millisecond pulsars discovered in globular clusters are diagnostic tools for studying the dynamics of the clusters, the intracluster ionized gas and the evolution of the binaries embedded in the cluster. In the first two years of a…
