“…50 Deleuze and Guattari strangely omit the important initial clause of Faulkner's complex sentence: "She would never divulge what it was to be when completed, nor for whom." 51 For Aunt Sally, the protracted duration of a fifteen-year quilting project of "odds and ends of colored fabric in all possible shapes" is not simply a way to occupy time but rather a form of intimacy with the object. 52 Aunt Sally avoids the use of scissors, resisting the urge to cut and thus to impose form onto the fabrics.…”

Instead, she fits and shifts and refits the fabrics in an attempt to let the crazy quilt discover its own pattern; that is, she allows the emergence of smooth space by inviting the intervention of a ghostly agency that might assist in the becoming of the crazy quilt.…”

“…During the 2002 re-processing of the PMPS, candidates were selected for re-observation using Reaper, a graphical selection tool described by Faulkner et al (2004). In brief, Reaper presents each candidate pulsar as a single point on a phase-space diagram.…”

“…Hobbs et al (2004) presented a further 180 discoveries and discussed the detection of 281 previously-known pulsars in the survey. A complete re-processing of the survey data using new search algorithms was presented by Faulkner et al (2004), hereafter known as the 2002 re-processing. Lorimer et al (2006) presented 142 discoveries resulting from that analysis and performed a detailed statistical study of the pulsar population in the survey region.…”

Modern pulsar surveys produce many millions of candidate pulsars, far more than can be individually inspected. Traditional methods for filtering these candidates, based upon the signal‐to‐noise ratio of the detection, cannot easily distinguish between interference signals and pulsars. We have developed a new method of scoring candidates using a series of heuristics which test for pulsar‐like properties of the signal. This significantly increases the sensitivity to weak pulsars and pulsars with periods close to interference signals. By applying this and other techniques for ranking candidates from a previous processing of the Parkes Multi‐beam Pulsar Survey, 28 previously unknown pulsars have been discovered. These include an eccentric binary system and a young pulsar which is spatially coincident with a known supernova remnant.

Millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are short-period pulsars that are distinguished from "normal" pulsars, not only by their short period, but also by their very small spin-down rates and high probability of being in a binary system. These properties are consistent with MSPs having a different evolutionary history to normal pulsars, viz., neutronstar formation in an evolving binary system and spin-up due to accretion from the binary companion. Their very stable periods make MSPs nearly ideal probes of a wide variety of astrophysical phenomena. For example, they have been used to detect planets around pulsars, to test the accuracy of gravitational theories, to set limits on the low-frequency gravitational-wave background in the Universe, and to establish pulsarbased timescales that rival the best atomic-clock timescales in long-term stability. MSPs also provide a window into stellar and binary evolution, often suggesting exotic pathways to the observed systems. The X-ray accretion-powered MSPs, and especially those that transition between an accreting X-ray MSP and a non-accreting radio MSP, give important insight into the physics of accretion on to highly magnetised neutron stars.
