Parkes observations for project P1067 semester 2020APRS_06

The Parkes Ultra-wide-bandwidth receiver enables, for the first time with the Parkes telescope, a commensal high time and high frequency resolution survey. We will observe Baade's window in which we are guaranteed detections of pulsars and spectral lines. Our science drivers are diverse and range from understanding scattering, to detecting new pulsars, to searching for galaxies in the zone of avoidance, probing the globular cluster at the centre of the window and studying OH circumstellar masers and CO-dark molecular gas. The observing strategy and processing software developed for this survey will be applicable to all future Parkes surveys with the wide-band receiver or cyrogenically-cooled phased array feed.

帕克斯超宽带接收器（Parkes Ultra-wide-bandwidth receiver）首次使帕克斯望远镜（Parkes telescope）能够开展共视高时间分辨率与高频分辨率巡天。我们将观测巴德窗（Baade's window）——在此区域中，脉冲星与谱线的探测得到可靠保障。本项目的科学目标广泛多样：从散射机制的解析，到新脉冲星的发现，再到隐避带（zone of avoidance）内星系的搜寻、巴德窗中心球状星团的探测，以及羟基恒星周脉泽（OH circumstellar masers）与CO暗分子气体（CO-dark molecular gas）的研究。为本巡天开发的观测策略与处理软件，将适用于帕克斯望远镜未来使用宽带接收器或低温冷却相控阵馈源（cyrogenically-cooled phased array feed）开展的所有巡天项目。
