Abstract:
We present the discovery and follow-up observations of 142 pulsars
found in the Parkes 20-cm multibeam pulsar survey of the Galactic
plane. These new discoveries bring the total number of pulsars found
by the survey to 742. In addition to tabulating spin and astrometric
parameters, along with pulse width and flux density information, we
present orbital characteristics for 13 binary pulsars which form part
of the new sample. Combining these results from another recent Parkes
multibeam survey at high Galactic latitudes, we have a sample of 1008
normal pulsars which we use to carry out a determination of their
Galactic distribution and birth rate. We infer a total Galactic
population of 30000±1100 potentially detectable pulsars (i.e. those
beaming towards us) having 1.4-GHz luminosities above 0.1mJy*kpc2.
