Parkes observations for project P885 semester 2019OCTS_04

We propose to observe the magnetars 1E 1547.0-5408 and PSR J1622-4950\r\napproximately weekly, to track their rotation, flux density, and\r\npolarisation, as we have been doing through this project. Also, as\r\nof late 2018, XTE J1810-197 is again a radio magnetar after 10 years\r\ndormant! Its chaotic rotation is better tracked in detail elsewhere,\r\nbut weekly observations with the UWL receiver are already providing\r\nunique measurements of its radio spectrum and broad-band behaviour.\r\nOur observations provide an important window into remarkably dynamic\r\nmagnetar magnetospheres, and characterise the conditions under which\r\nradio emission takes place therein, placing constraints on the\r\nemission mechanisms, which in at least some significant respects\r\ndiffer from those of ordinary pulsars.
