PSR J2007+2722 is a 40.8-hertz isolated pulsar in the Vulpecula constellation, 5.3 kpc (17,000 ly) distant in the plane of the Galaxy, and is most likely a disrupted recycled pulsar (DRP).
J2007+2722 was found on data taken by the Arecibo radio telescope in February 2007, and analyzed by volunteers Chris and Helen Colvin ( Ames, Iowa, United States) and Daniel Gebhardt ( Universität Mainz, Musikinformatik, Germany) via the distributed computing project Einstein@Home. [1]
