Pulsar "detectability" metric (
, normalized to Vela) vs. spin period. Detected MSPs (red triangles) and young pulsars (radio-selected, green circles; gamma-ray-selected,
blue squares) all have high values of this metric. For objects with a distance range in Table 5, we use here the geometric
mean of the maximum and minimum values. Searched, but presently undetected objects (black dots) are plotted using DM-derived
distances. For the possible causes of non-detection, see Section 5.1.
