We recently discovered two new pulsars J1849+1001 (35.1 ms) and J1839+0542 (57.9 ms) in a FAST pulsar survey at intermediate Galactic latitudes (PT2020_0141). Follow-up timing observations show that they are in circular orbits with massive companions. This suggests that PSR J1849+1001 and J1839+0542 can be classified as the intermediate-mass binary pulsar (IMBP). Their massive companions also make them promising systems to measure "Post-Keplerian" parameters through pulsar timing. These Parkes observations will be combined with regular timing observations with FAST or MeerKAT to measure "Post-Keplerian" parameters and then measure both neutron star and companion masses.

This is the Fourth Edition of the Catalog of Low-mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs) in the Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds. The catalog has a companion catalog of high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) which is called HMXBCAT in the HEASARC database system). The catalog contains source name(s), coordinates, X-ray flux, system parameters, and stellar parameters of the components and other characteristic properties of 187 low-mass X-ray binaries, together with references to a comprehensive selection of the relevant literature. The aim of this catalog is to provide some basic information on the X-ray sources and their counterparts in other wavelength ranges (gamma-rays, UV, optical, IR, and radio). Some sources, however, are only tentatively identified as low-mass X-ray binaries on the basis of their X-ray properties being similar to the known low-mass X-ray binaries. Further identification in other wavelength bands is needed to finally determine the nature of these sources. In cases where there is some doubt about the low-mass nature of the X-ray binary, this is mentioned. Literature published before 1 October 2006 has, as far as possible, been taken into account. This online catalog was created by the HEASARC in September 2007 based on machine-readable tables obtained from the ADC/CDS data centers (their catalog J/A+A/469/807, tables lmxb.dat and lmxbnote.dat). This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

The Version 2 release (hereafter v2) of the BGPS data includes images and a catalog. It is described in Ginsburg et al (2013).The new images have improved fidelity and more uniform noise. The fields include all those in the original v1 release and some new data. There are new fields included in the BGPS v2 release, primarily in the outer galaxy but including some expansions in the inner galaxy. These include M17, IRAS 22172, a significant expansion in l and b around the l=110 region, Mon R2, NGC 2264, parts of the Orion A and B clouds, Sharpless 235, and scattered IRAS+CO selected fields at longitude 119, 123, 126, 129, 154, 169, 181, 182, 195, 201, and 217. IRSA provides a coverage map.There is a new catalog associated with the v2 images. The sources were extracted using Bolocat with parameters set in the same way as for the v1 catalog. There are many sources in v1 that are not in v2 and vice-versa. These discrepancies occur primarily for faint sources with low signal-to-noise. Objects in both catalogs are likely to be real since catalog parameters were selected to minimize false positives. Changing the quality of the images and the structure of the noise highlights some new objects and obscures others. The v2 catalog has about a 75% overlap with the v1 catalog. The differences are explored in more detail in the Ginsburg et al (2013).The flux calibration offset identified in the version 1 data is now understood. The version 2 data are brighter, on average, by approximately a factor 1.5, but the factor varies from source to source. The v2 catalog should be used instead of the v1 catalog. The source of the error was the incorrect application of a flux calibration solution.Contreras et al (2013) noted a 4.7 arcsecond offset between the BGPS v1 catalog and the ATLASGAL catalog. We believe this is caused by an offset of that magnitude (~3-4 arcseconds) in a few fields that have an inordinate number of sources extracted; the pointing accuracy in the vast majority of the BGPS fields, based on a comparison to Herschel Hi-Gal images, is better than 4 arcseconds, but the mean offset is within 2 arcseconds of zero.
