Studying the southerly eclipsing millisecond pulsar J1748-2446A using MeerKAT by Lekomola, Senate

“…To conduct this analysis we used two observations from the South African MeerKAT telescope at L-band frequencies. As PSR J1748-2446A transitions in and out of an eclipse, our observations of its radio emission noted a maximum dispersion measure (DM) increase of 0.089 pc cm−3 in Observation 1 and of 0.055 pc cm−3 in Observation 2. …”
