Science Issues Addressed by the PM Survey and Followup Studies

• pulsar velocities
• pulsar glitches
• supernova remnant associations
• magnetars, AXPs, and high magnetic field pulsars
• evolution of young pulsars (braking indices)
• interstellar medium: bow shocks, plerions, electron distribution
• existence of black hole binary systems
• evolution of intermediate-mass binary systems
• pulsar population statistics
• structure of the magnetic field
