PSR J1614-2238 is just one of the many new pulsars discovered as
part of a McGill survey. This particular pulse profile (J. Hessels)
is from a 3.15 millisecond binary found during a joint McGill
University/Haverford College survey of unidentified
EGRET source error boxes. The multibeam receiver on the
Parkes Telescope was instrumental to our targeted search of 56
mid Galactic latitude regions. McGill participants in this project
included Mallory Roberts, Scott Ransom, Jason Hessels, Margaret
Livingstone, Cindy Tam, and Victoria Kaspi. Read more about the
motivation behind and results of the EGRET survey in the following
