Abstract

In the past year we have been using the most sensitive radio telescopes to search for young pulsars in directed surveys of several promising candidates (including pulsar wind nebulae, EGRET-ray sources, and "radio quiet neutron stars"). We have discovered several interesting young objects, e.g., in 3EG J2227+6122 (at Jodrell Bank), in SNR G292.0+1.8 (at Parkes), in SNR 3C58 (at the GBT), and in SNR G54.1+0.3 (at Arecibo), among others. These pulsars are extremely weak radio sources (flux density at 1400 MHz as low as S140050 μJy) and have low luminosity (S1400 d21 mJy kpc2 ). I will give an up-to-date review of these surveys.
