Millisecond Pulsar Observation at CRL
Abstract
We will report the current status of millisecond pulsar timing observation at CRL. Weekly observation of PSR1937+21 using the 34-m antenna at Kashima Space Research Center has been on going since November 1997. Recently we eliminated systematic trends that were apparent in the data, and estimated the pulsar parameters of PSR1937+21. Standard deviation of timing residuals is 2.4 microsecs for about 3 hours pulse-integration. The frequency stability of PSR1937+21 is 10(-13) for an averaging time of one year, which demonstrates the possibility of constructing a pulsar time scale with a system using a small antenna.
