Parkes observations for project P789 semester 2019OCTS_03

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 few years, we have discovered more than 40 MSPs though 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 project, reducing total observation time required and easing the burden on the scheduler.

近年来，帕克斯天文台（Parkes）在毫秒脉冲星（millisecond pulsars, MSPs）的发现工作中取得了显著成果——该类天体包含了目前已知最具科研价值与科学意义的脉冲星样本。过去数年间，我们依托高时间分辨率宇宙巡天（High Time Resolution Universe Survey, P630）与费米搜寻项目（Fermi searches, P675/P814），已发现超过40颗毫秒脉冲星。本次研究计划对这些天体开展精密计时观测，以充分挖掘这批发现的科学潜力。此外，我们还将持续对帕克斯多波束脉冲星巡天（Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey, P268）中最具科研价值的发现天体展开研究。
为最大化科学影响力，我们将过往各类立项提案中的核心研究天体整合至本项目中，此举既缩减了总观测时长需求，也减轻了观测调度系统的工作负担。
