Galactic Distribution and Genesis of Pulsars

Extract
At the end of 1978 the results of the second pulsar survey at the Molonglo Observatory (Manchester et al., 1978) and of a new survey of the northern hemisphere made at Green Bank (Damashek et al., 1978) were published. More than 80% of the celestial sphere were thus searched for pulsars in a careful and homogeneous manner. As a result of these surveys 172 new pulsars were discovered and parameters of 95 previously known pulsars were improved. Recently two new pulsars were discovered in the Pushino Observatory (Alekseyev et al., 1979), bringing the grand total of known pulsars to 325.
