Abstract

We report the discovery of seven new millisecond pulsars during 20 cm searches of 19 globular clusters using the recently upgraded Arecibo Telescope and the new Green Bank Telescope (GBT). Five of the pulsars are in compact binaries, three of which are eclipsing. One of the systems is in an eccentric orbit which is almost certainly highly relativistic. Additional searches and timing observations are underway.
