Parkes observations for project P511 semester 2008OCTS

We request continuing timing and monitoring observations of 13 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. we also aim to maintain the phase-connected timing solutions achieved during the last observing semester to determine positions, ages and magnetic fields. These observations are the cornerstone of an extensive campaign at X-ray, radio and infrared wavelengths.
