Notes. These pulsars are in eccentric orbits. The companion mass is calculated assuming a pulsar mass of 1.35 M. Numbers in parentheses represent 1-σ uncertainties in the last digit. The proper motion in declination value was fixed to μδ = –5.243 mas yr−1 based on Baumgardt & Vasiliev (2021) in cases where it was not measured via timing.
