Parkes observations for project P1034 semester 2019OCTS_11

We recently discovered two millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in the globular cluster, Omega Centauri, the first pulsar discovery in this globular cluster. The discovery of these MSPs will enable us to study the stellar population and dynamics in the core of Omega Centauri, and to probe the ionised interstellar medium in Omega Centauri. These two MSPs are potentially in extreme eclipsing systems, and are useful for us to understand the formation of such systems. More importantly, our discoveries, for the first time, allow us to carry out a deep, coherently de-dispersed, high time resolution survey of pulsars in Omega Centauri, which might lead to exciting discoveries. We propose to carry out follow-up timing observations of the new discoveries, and a new coherently de-dispersed, high time resolution survey of Omega Centauri.
