Parkes observations for project P361 semester 2007OCTS

We propose to continue monitoring southern relativistic binary pulsars to place stringent limits on the General Theory of Relativity, pulsar masses, and to map out the emission cone of PSR J1141-6545 at 20 cm. Our 6-year long timing data on PSR J1141-6545 has enabled the measurement of its orbital period derivative with a much improved precision than before and is in agreement with the General Relativistic prediction at the 7% level. In light of these encouraging results, we propose to continue regular observations of this pulsar.
