Cannonball or Bowling Ball: A Proper Motion and Parallax for PSR J0002+6216

We report the results of careful astrometric measurements of the Cannonball pulsar J0002+6216 carried out over three years using the High Sensitivity Array (HSA). We significantly refine the proper motion to \mu=35.3\pm0.6 mas yr^{-1} and place new constraints on the distance, with the overall effect of lowering the velocity and... Show more
