Parkes observations for project P885 semester 2021OCTS_10

We request a reduced monitoring cadence for the magnetars 1E 1547.0-5408 and Swift J1818.0-1607 to once every 10 days, to track their rotation, flux density, and polarisation. Swift J1818.0-1607 remains very dynamic, and the unique UWL capabilities promise new opportunities to probe still mysterious radio emission mechanisms in magnetars. Our timing results indicate that 1E 1547.0-5408 is currently a more stable rotator, supporting the diminished cadence. We will observe XTE J1810-197 and PSR J1622-4950 less frequently, to complement monitoring elsewhere. The overall request is 18 hours.
