Timing results for thirteen pulsars

Abstract

As part of a continuing programme of pulsar timing measurements at the Arecibo Observatory, timing results have been obtained for thirteen pulsars following a year or more of observations at 430 MHz. Precision timing results for these thirteen objects have not been reported previously. The discovery names, references, and relevant least-squares fitting information are given in Table 1. The fitted parameters right ascension, declination, period (P) and period derivate (dP/dt) are listed in Table 2.
