Millisecond Pulsars Survey at the Northern Cross

A large scale survey for millisecond pulsars at 408 MHz has been undertaken, using the Italian Northern Cross radiotelescope near Bologna. So far, about 30% of the sky > 0 was observed, resulting in the detection of 35 known pulsar, 5 known millisecond pulsar and one new millisecond pulsar, having a period of 4.86 ms and a very low DM = 4.3 cmpc. This new millisecond pulsar was then observed at Parkes in order to measure the dynamic spectrum at low frequency and derive a scintillation velocity, which resulted in the observation of a velocity of the order of 10 km/s (Nicastro el al., in preparation).
