Abstract
We summarize observations of 29 slow pulsars discovered in recent surv eys at Arecibo Observatory. Our sample includes some of the least lumi nous pulsars known and forms a group of objects that generally have lo wer spin-down energy-loss rates than the bulk of the population. By me asuring pulse times of arrival over spans of 1 yr or more, we have der ived precise spin and astrometric parameters for each object. In addit ion, we present values of dispersion measure, pulse width, and flux de nsity, and we display pulse shapes. We tabulate some derived parameter s and discuss objects of particular interest, including one with mode changes, one with significant scattering, and one with the longest kno wn pulse period. We also discuss implications for the scale height of the free electron distribution from the observed distribution of DM si n \b\.
