Parkes observations for project P574 semester 2022OCTS_04

We request time to observe 260 pulsars on a regular basis in order to provide the accurate ephemerides necessary for the detection and characterisation of gamma-ray pulsars with the Fermi satellite. The main science goals are to increase the number of known gamma-ray pulsars (both radio loud and radio quiet), to determine accurate pulse profiles, and to characterise their high energy (phase-resolved) spectra. In the radio, the observations will also allow us to investigate: neutron stars and pulsar emission via detecting glitches and determining pulse timing parameters; and the ISM via measuring and monitoring dispersion measures, Faraday rotation measures, and scintillation. To date, we are (co-)authors on over 95 papers arising from the collaboration and P574 data, including four which use UWL observations. The data have contributed to the PhD theses of students from Bordeaux, Manchester, Oxford, Stanford, and Swinburne.本团队申请观测时长以定期观测260颗脉冲星，以获取精确的星历表（ephemerides），为费米卫星（Fermi satellite）探测与表征伽马射线脉冲星提供必要支撑。本项目的核心科学目标包括：扩充已知伽马射线脉冲星的数量（涵盖射电亮型与射电宁静型两类），获取精确的脉冲轮廓，并表征其高能（相位分辨）能谱。射电波段的观测还将支持多项研究：通过探测自转突变（glitches）并测定脉冲计时参数，开展中子星与脉冲星辐射机制研究；通过测量与监测色散量（dispersion measures）、法拉第旋转量（Faraday rotation measures）以及星际闪烁（scintillation），探究星际介质（ISM）的相关特性。截至目前，依托本合作团队与P574项目数据产出的成果中，本人作为（共同）作者的论文已超95篇，其中4篇基于UWL观测数据完成。相关数据还支撑了来自波尔多、曼彻斯特、牛津、斯坦福以及斯威本五所高校的学生完成博士学位论文。
