Parkes observations for project P282 semester 2009APRS

We propose to continue the timing of the millisecond pulsars in 47 Tucanae. At least 23 MSPs have been discovered, and nineteen of these have timing solutions. We propose to keep timing these to a) keep their phase connection, b) improve the precision of the proper motions and allow a detailed dynamic modeling of the cluster, c) search for gamma-ray pulsations (in collaboration with Fermi) and gravitational wave emission (in collaboration with LIGO) and d) Improve the PK parameters for 47 Tuc H, and measure the orbital variability for the eclipsing binaries. We will, in parallel, continue searching for new pulsars in the existing data by looking into unexplored regions of parameter space.
