- psrcat: ATNF pulsar catalog (https://www.atnf.csiro.au/research/pulsar/psrcat/)
- Description: The catalogue includes all published rotation-powered pulsars, including those detected only at high energies. It also includes Anomalous X-ray Pulsars (AXPs) and Soft Gamma-ray Repeaters (SGRs) for which coherent pulsations have been detected. However, it excludes accretion-powered pulsars such as Her X-1 and the X-ray millisecond pulsars, for example, SAX J1808.4-3658.
- To run it: psrcat
- Version installed (psrcat -v): Software version: 1.50. Catalogue version number = 1.6970
- Acknowledgement: If you make use of the ATNF Pulsar Catalogue in a publication, we request that you acknowledge the source of the information by referencing the paper: Manchester, R. N., Hobbs, G. B., Teoh, A. & Hobbs, M., Astron. J., 129, 1993-2006 (2005) (astro-ph/0412641), which gives a full description of the catalogue, and by quoting the web address http://www.atnf.csiro.au/research/pulsar/psrcat.
