Parkes observations for project P789 semester 2013OCTS

Recently there has been great success at Parkes discovering millisecond pulsars (MSPs), a class that includes some of the most interesting and scientifically valuable pulsars known. In the last two years we have discovered some 29 previously known MSPs through the High Time Resolution Universe Survey (P630) and Fermi searches (P675/P814). Here we propose to carry out precision timing of these sources to fully exploit these discoveries. Additionally, we continue to study the most significant of the discoveries from the Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey (P268).\r\nTo maximise scientific impact we have combined the most important sources from various previous proposals into this new project, reducing the total observing time request.

最近，帕克斯天文台在毫秒脉冲星（MSPs）的发现方面取得了重大成果，这类脉冲星包含已知最具研究趣味和科学价值的脉冲星样本。过去两年间，我们通过高时间分辨率宇宙巡天（P630）和费米搜索（P675/P814）发现了约29颗此前未知的毫秒脉冲星。在此，我们提议对这些源开展精密计时观测，以充分挖掘这些发现的科学价值。此外，我们将继续研究帕克斯多波束脉冲星巡天（P268）中最重要的发现成果。
为最大化科学影响力，我们已将以往多个提案中的最重要源整合到本新项目中，从而减少了总观测时间需求。
