Parkes observations for project P789 semester 2018OCTS_09

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 few years, we have discovered more than 40 MSPs though 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 project, reducing total observation time required and easing the burden on the scheduler.

帕克斯观测站在毫秒脉冲星（millisecond pulsar, MSP）发现领域已取得显著成果——该类脉冲星包含了目前已知最具科研价值与学术趣味性的脉冲星样本。在过去数年间，我们通过高时间分辨率宇宙巡天（High Time Resolution Universe Survey, P630）与费米搜寻项目（Fermi searches, P675/P814），已发现超过40颗毫秒脉冲星。本次我们提议对这批脉冲星开展高精度计时观测，以充分挖掘这些发现的科研潜力。此外，我们还将持续研究帕克斯多波束脉冲星巡天（Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey, P268）中极具学术意义的发现样本。
为最大化科研产出影响力，我们将过往多项提案中的核心观测源整合至本项目中，以此压缩总观测时长，同时减轻观测调度的工作负担。
