We aim to carry out receiver pointing and characterisation tests of Parkes receivers. Typically, these tests are carried out after the receiver package is installed, but time does not always allow for
This project aims to continue to perform rapid measurements of relativistic parameters of southern binary pulsar systems using data from the Parkes Ultra Wideband Low (UWL) receiver and the MeerKAT te
We discovered PSR J1716-2808A (NGC6316A), a highly accelerated binary millisecond pulsar (MSP), in NGC6316. We are currently observing it with Parkes (P1330) to solve for the orbit. At the time of thi
PSR~J1759-2402 is one of a small handful of pulsars which are in orbit about high mass stars. Its orbital period is 8.3 years and the orbit is highly eccentric with periastron expected in 2021 March.
Spider pulsars - black widows (BW) and redbacks (RB) - reside in incredibly tight orbits with low-mass stellar companions. The close proximity of the two orbiting bodies leads to heavy irradiation of
