The 10σ sensitivities of GBT, VLA, SKA1-MID and SKA 30 hr X-band integrations to the known Galactic pulsar population, if placed at the distance of the Galactic Center, assuming the weak-scattering case. As in Figure 1, the dots show the 1.4 GHz luminosity of the known pulsar population (Manchester et al. 2005) plotted vs. pulsar period, while the solid, dashed, dotted and dashed–dotted curves show the 10σ sensitivities for the GBT, VLA, SKA1-MID and full SKA, respectively. It is clear that deep X-band observations with existing telescopes (the GBT and the VLA) would be sensitive to a significant fraction (≳30%) of the known MSP population (as well as to ≳65% of the entire known pulsar population), if located at the GC distance.
