Figure 6: |
The sky distribution of pulsars in Galactic coordinates. The plane of the Galaxy is the
central horizontal line. The Galactic centre is the midpoint of this line. Millisecond pulsars are
indicated in red. Binary pulsars are highlighted by the open circles. The more isotropic distribution
of the millisecond and binary pulsars reflects the differences in detecting them out to large distances
cf. the normal population (see Section 3). |
