LBA observations for project V615 semester 2022APRS

We have recently discovered a candidate ultra-long period magnetar, which rotates just once every 75 seconds yet still produces radio pulses. This is potentially prototypical of a numerous source class that may be associated with energetic phenomena such as Fast Radio Bursts. Using LBA astrometry, we wish to determine the proper motion and parallax of this source, which will enable us to 1) estimate its transverse velocity and constrain birth scenarios, 2) potentially associate the source with a birth site, and 3) calibrate X-ray measurements of the neutron star temperature and hence cooling models.
