Query: Low-Frequency Spectral Turn-Overs in Millisecond Pulsars Studied from
  Imaging Observations   Measurements of pulsar flux densities are of great importance for
understanding the pulsar emission mechanism and for predictions of pulsar
survey yields and the pulsar population at large. Typically these flux
densities are determined from phase-averaged "pulse profiles", but this method
has limited applicability at low frequencies because the observed pulses can
easily be spread out by interstellar effects like scattering or dispersion,
leading to a non-pulsed continuum component that is necessarily ignored in this
type of analysis. In particular for the class of the millisecond pulsars (MSPs)
at frequencies below 200MHz, such interstellar effects can seriously compromise
de- tectability and measured flux densities. In this paper we investigate MSP
spectra based on a complementary approach, namely through investigation of
archival con- tinuum imaging data. Even though these images lose sensitivity to
pulsars since the on-pulse emission is averaged with off-pulse noise, they are
insensitive to effects from scattering and provide a reliable way to determine
the flux density and spectral indices of MSPs based on both pulsed and unpulsed
components. Using the 74MHz VLSSr as well as the 325MHz WENSS and 1.4GHz NVSS
catalogues, we investigate the imaging flux densities of MSPs and evaluate the
likelihood of spectral turn-overs in this population. We determine three new
MSP spectral indices and identify six new MSPs with likely spectral turn-overs.
