Parkes observations for project P584 semester 2008OCTS

We propose to continue using the baseband recorder CPSR2 during the regular monitoring of Rotating Radio Transients (by McLaughlin et al.) at the Parkes telescope, to measure the polarization of these sources at 20 cm. The purpose of our observations is to use the polarization measurements to better characterize the relationship of this type of object to the well known radio pulsars. We are in continuous contact with the team proposing and carrying out the RRAT monitoring and therefore are requiring no additional telescope time.
