Abstract

Galactic;ATCA
M28 and M62 are the globular clusters with the third and fifth largest population of known pulsars. They are ideal targets to perform a deep radio imaging survey to search for millisecond pulsars. Recently, we found that the diffuse X-ray emission near the center of M28 and M62 is associated with radio detected pulsars and we suspected that they are pulsars/pulsar wind nebulae. In order to compare with the Chandra images, we propose to obtain a high resolution radio maps of M28 and M62 by using ATCA.
