Parkes observations for project P511 semester 2007OCTS

We request continuing timing and monitoring observations of 6 rotating radio transients. These sources are rotating neutron stars which are detectable only through their sporadic radio bursts. The observations proposed here are crucial for understanding the emission mechanism of these sources and for determining how they relate to other neutron star populations. Through the proposed observations, we aim to maintain the phase-connected timing solutions achieved during the last observing semester, further contrain burst flux distributions and spectral indices, and search for any new and unexpected bursting and/or glitching phenomena. These observations are the cornerstone of an extensive campaign at X-ray, radio and infrared wavelengths.
