摘要:We observed the Fermi/GBT pulsar PSR J2032+4127 with the EVN at 1.6 GHz in March 2010. The source has a period-averaged flux density of 0.18 mJy and a duty cycle of approximately 10% at this frequency. To obtain a good position of the source, we observed it using phase referencing with 6 EVN antennas at 1 Gbps, and we correlated the data using pulsar gating in the new DiFX correlator in Bonn. A preliminary data reduction shows that the faint pulsar was detected with a signal-to-noise ratio of 8, with an improvement of a factor of 2 thanks to the use of pulsar gating. This has provided the first accurate VLBI position of this radio pulsar. Future EVN observations will allow us to obtain an accurate proper motion of PSR J2032+4127, which will shed light to the possible association of this pulsar with the unidentified very-high-energy gamma-ray source TeV J2032+4130.
