Parkes observations for project P982 semester 2018OCTS_04

We propose observations with the ultra-wide-bandwidth, low frequency receiver installed at the Parkes telescope to carry out the first coherently de-dispersed search for new pulsars in Southern globular clusters. We have chosen the three most likely clusters for new discoveries. We propose to observe each cluster from rise-to-set and will process the resulting data to study the known pulsars (allowing us, for the first time, to study the wide-band properties of their signal), whilst also looking for currently unknown pulsars. We note that the first black-hole--pulsar binary system is likely to be found in a globular cluster environment.
