Parkes observations for project P584 semester 2007APRS

We propose to use the baseband recorder CPSR2 during the regular monitoring of Rotating Radio Transients at the Parkes telescope, to measure the polarization of as many of these sources as we can at the various monitoring frequencies (50, 20 and 10 cm). The purpose of our observations is to use the polarization measurements to better characterize the relationship of this type of object to the well known radio pulsars. We are in contact with the team proposing and carrying out the RRAT monitoring and therefore are requiring no additional telescope time.
