Abstract Using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope, we report the detailed spectral measurements over a wide frequency range of three pulsars (J1741−3016, J1757−2223, and J1845−0743), which allow us to identify them as new gigahertz-peaked spectra pulsars. Our results indicate that their spectra show turnovers at the frequencies of 620 MHz, 640 MHz, and 650 MHz, respectively. Our analysis proves that wideband observations improve estimations of spectral nature using a free–free thermal absorption model, and thus allow for a more accurate approximation of the maximum energy in the spectrum. While there is no evidence as yet that these objects are associated with a supernova remnant or pulsar wind nebula, they will make good targets when looking for interesting environments in the future, or when conducting more sensitive sky surveys.

Abstract We have estimated flux densities of several pulsars from radio interferometric observations mainly at 325 MHz using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope. The new observations allowed us to update the spectral nature of the observed pulsars, and in six sources we identified relatively high frequency turnovers, which can be classified as new GHz-peaked spectrum (GPS) pulsars. For such objects the turnover in the spectrum is most likely caused by absorption in the immediate vicinity of the pulsar (or in the interstellar medium). We modeled the turnover spectra using the thermal free–free absorption model and the physical parameters obtained from the fits enabled us to identify the environments that could potentially be responsible for the observed absorption, such as pulsar wind nebulae, supernova remnant nebulae or H ii regions. The discovery of 6 new GPS pulsars brings the total number of such objects to 33 and we discuss the properties of the entire sample.
