The Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey – II. Discovery and timing of 120 pulsars

The Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey is a sensitive survey of a strip of the Galactic plane with |b| < 5 ◦ and 260 ◦ < l < 50 ◦ at 1374 MHz. Here we report the discovery of 120 new pulsars and subsequent timing observations, primarily using the 76-m Lovell radio telescope at Jodrell Bank. The main features of the sample of 370 published pulsars discovered during the multibeam survey are described. Furthermore, we highlight two pulsars: PSR J1734−3333, a young pulsar with the second highest surface magnetic field strength among the known radio pulsars, Bs = 5.4 × 10 13 G, and PSR J1830−1135, the second slowest radio pulsar known,
