Parkes observations for project P574 semester 2022APRS_06

We request time to observe 260 pulsars on a regular basis in order to provide the accurate ephemerides necessary for the detection and characterisation of gamma-ray pulsars with the Fermi satellite. The main science goals are to increase the number of known gamma-ray pulsars (both radio loud and radio quiet), to determine accurate pulse profiles, and to characterise their high energy (phase-resolved) spectra. In the radio, the observations will also allow us to investigate: neutron stars and pulsar emission via detecting glitches and determining pulse timing parameters; and the ISM via measuring and monitoring dispersion measures, Faraday rotation measures, and scintillation. To date, we are (co-)authors on over 95 papers arising from the collaboration and P574 data, including four which use UWL observations. The data have contributed to the PhD theses of students from Bordeaux, Manchester, Oxford, Stanford, and Swinburne.

我们申请定期观测260颗脉冲星的时间，旨在为费米卫星（Fermi satellite）探测和表征伽马射线脉冲星提供所需的精确星历表（ephemerides）。主要科学目标包括增加已知伽马射线脉冲星（含射电亮和射电静两类）的数量、确定精确的脉冲轮廓，以及表征其高能（phase-resolved）谱。在射电波段，这些观测还将使我们能够开展以下研究：通过探测自转突变（glitch）和确定脉冲计时参数来研究中子星与脉冲星辐射；通过测量和监测色散量、法拉第旋转量及闪烁现象来研究星际介质（ISM）。截至目前，我们作为（共同）作者参与了基于该合作项目及P574数据的95余篇论文，其中4篇使用了UWL观测数据。这些数据还为波尔多大学、曼彻斯特大学、牛津大学、斯坦福大学及斯威本大学的学生博士论文提供了支持。
