| Abstract |
We provide timing solutions for 45 radio pulsars discovered by the
Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope. These pulsars were found in the
Green Bank North Celestial Cap pulsar survey, an all-GBT-sky survey
being carried out at a frequency of 350 {MHz}. We include pulsar timing
data from the Green Bank Telescope and Low Frequency Array. Our sample
includes five fully recycled millisecond pulsars (MSPs, three of which
are in a binary system), a new relativistic double neutron star system,
an intermediate-mass binary pulsar, a mode-changing pulsar, a 138 ms
pulsar with a very low magnetic field, and several nulling pulsars. We
have measured two post-Keplerian parameters and thus the masses of both
objects in the double neutron star system. We also report a tentative
companion mass measurement via Shapiro delay in a binary MSP. Two of the
MSPs can be timed with high precision and have been included in pulsar
timing arrays being used to search for low-frequency gravitational
waves, while a third MSP is a member of the black widow class of
binaries. Proper motion is measurable in five pulsars, and we provide an
estimate of their space velocity. We report on an optical counterpart to
a new black widow system and provide constraints on the optical
counterparts to other binary MSPs. We also present a preliminary
analysis of nulling pulsars in our sample. These results demonstrate the
scientific return of long timing campaigns on pulsars of all types.
