Description:
Table1 gives the NVSS radio sources around the positions of all known
pulsars. This table was generated by searching NVSS catalog, and each
row gives the closest source around one pulsar. However, not all of
them are pulsars, as we discussed in our paper. If there is "?" in the
Notes, we had more considerations to identify the source as a pulsar.
If there is nothing or just "*" in Notes, the source is believed to be
the pulsar.
Table 2 lists 14 strong pulsars not detected by the NVSS, or more
exactly saying, not listed in the NVSS catalog. By the courtesy of Jim
Condon, we found some of these pulsars are confused by nearby strong
radio sources, and most of them were really scintillating during the
NVSS.
