Parkes observations for project P789 semester 2013APRS

Recently there has been great success at Parkes discovering millisecond pulsars (MSPs), a class that includes some of the most interesting and scientifically valuable pulsars known. In the last two years we have discovered some 29 previously known MSPs through the High Time Resolution Universe Survey (P630) and Fermi searches (P675/P814). Here we propose to carry out precision timing of these sources to fully exploit these discoveries. Additionally, we continue to study the most significant of the discoveries from the Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey (P268).\r\nTo maximise scientific impact we have combined the most important sources from various previous proposals into this new project, reducing the total observing time request.

近年来，帕克斯（Parkes）望远镜在毫秒脉冲星（millisecond pulsars, MSPs）发现领域取得了显著成果；该类脉冲星包含了目前已知最具科学价值与研究趣味的脉冲星群体。过去两年间，我们借助高时间分辨率宇宙巡天（High Time Resolution Universe Survey, P630）与费米（Fermi）搜寻计划（P675/P814），共发现约29颗此前已被记录的毫秒脉冲星。据此，我们提出将对这批源开展高精度计时观测，以充分挖掘这些发现的科学潜力。此外，我们还将持续对帕克斯多波束脉冲星巡天（Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey, P268）所获重大发现中的核心源进行研究。
为最大化项目的科学影响力，我们将过往多项提案中的关键观测源整合至本新项目中，从而缩减了总观测时长的申请额度。
