Parkes observations for project P574 semester 2017APRS_BPSR_08

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 find glitches, characterise timing noise, investigate dispersion and rotation measure variability, and enhance our knowledge of single pulse phenomenology. To date, we
are (co-)authors on 50 papers arising from the collaboration and P574 data. The data have contributed to the PhD theses of students from Bordeaux, Stanford, Swinburne and Oxford.

我们申请定期观测260颗脉冲星，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。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（相位分辨）光谱。在射电波段，这些观测还将使我们能够发现自转突变（Glitch）、表征计时噪声（Timing Noise）、研究色散（Dispersion）与旋转量度变化（Rotation Measure Variability），并深化对单脉冲现象学（Single Pulse Phenomenology）的认识。截至目前，我们作为（共同）作者参与了该合作项目及P574数据相关的50篇论文撰写；这些数据亦为波尔多、斯坦福、斯威本和牛津大学学生的博士论文提供了支撑。
