Parkes observations for project P1114 semester 2021APRS_01

Giant pulses are the bright pulses with the pulse energy more than 10 times the average pulse energy. They can be divided into two classes, in which that from first class are seen in young and millisecond pulsars and that from second class are seen in middle-age pulsars. We propose observations with the Ultra-wide-bandwidth Low (UWL) receiver installed at the Parkes telescope to carry out a study of the giant pulses from the middle-age pulsars. We will obtain the spectrum and polarization profiles of these GPs over the wide bandwidth. We aim to compare the spectrum and polarization profiles between the giant pulses and the normal pulses. We will also investigate whether there are some connections between the two giant pulse classes.
