Parkes observations for project P1050 semester 2021OCTS_20

This is a request for observing time for the timing campaign of new pulsar discoveries from the reprocessing of the low-latitude Galactic plane section of the HTRU survey (P630). We have now completed 90 % of the survey with GPU based coherent acceleration search, template bank and fast folding algorithm pipelines, and now have discovered 92 previously unknown pulsars and 8 "class A" pulsars awaiting confirmation. Interesting science can usually only be derived from a new pulsar after confirmation and a follow-up timing campaign is carried out. One year of initial timing is the minimum timespan required to fully characterise any newly-discovered pulsars, essential for deriving pulsar parameters such as the characteristic age, magnetic field strength, spin-down rate, as well as to detect any unexpected behaviour of the pulsar which might result from emission instabilities. Pulsars on the observing list here have been confirmed in the previous and current 2021APRS semesters, the follow-up timing in OCTS2021 will produce completely new and exciting results. In addition, this timing project will allow us to measure the true Galactic plane pulsar population and the boundaries of pulsar parameter space in the galactic plane.
