Timing and Interstellar Scattering of Thirty-five Distant Pulsars Discovered in the PALFA Survey

We have made extensive observations of 35 distant slow (non-recycled) pulsarsdiscovered in the ongoing Arecibo PALFA pulsarsurvey. Timing observations of these pulsarsover several years at Arecibo Observatoryand Jodrell Bank Observatoryhave yielded high-precision positions and measurements of rotation properties. Despite being a relatively distant population, these pulsarshave properties that mirror those of the previously known pulsarpopulation. Many of the sources exhibit timing noise, and one underwent a small glitch. We have used multifrequency data to measure the interstellar scattering properties of these pulsars. We find scattering to be higher than predicted along some lines of sight, particularly in the Cygnusregion. Lastly, we present XMM-Newton and Chandra observations of the youngest and most energetic of the pulsars, J1856+0245, which has previously been associated with the GeV-TeV pulsar wind nebulaHESS J1857+026.
