Parkes observations for project P361 semester 2008APRS

We propose to continue monitoring the southern relativistic binary pulsar PSR J1141-6545 to improve stringent limits on gravitational theories and pulsar masses, and to map out the emission cone of PSR J1141-6545 at 20 cm. Our 7-year long timing data on PSR J1141-6545 has enabled the measurement of its orbital period derivative with a much improved precision and is in agreement with the General Relativistic prediction at the 6% level. In light of these encouraging results, we propose to continue regular observations of this pulsar.
