Parkes observations for project P1178 semester 2023APRS_05

We are actively developing a new version of the ATNF pulsar catalogue. In the paper describing the new catalogue we wish to take the opportunity to publish important pulsar parameters that have, to-date, not been published. The fundamental property of a pulsar is its pulse period and yet we have identified a large number of pulsars that do not having a measured spin-down rate and hence we do not know their evolutionary state, nor have good positions or knowledge of whether they are in a binary system. We have therefore selected 53 pulsars with the goal of measuring their spin-down rates. During this project we will also develop an automated pulsar-fold-mode online processing pipeline that includes online RFI mitigation. This pipeline will be made available as an ATNF service for other users.

我们正积极开发新版澳大利亚望远镜国家设施（Australia Telescope National Facility, ATNF）脉冲星目录。在阐述该新版目录的论文中，我们希望借此机会发布迄今尚未公开的重要脉冲星参数。脉冲星的基本属性为其脉冲周期，但我们已发现大量尚未测量自转减慢速率的脉冲星，因此既无法知晓它们的演化状态，也无法获取精确的位置信息，更无法确认它们是否处于双星系统之中。为此我们遴选了53颗脉冲星，旨在测量它们的自转减慢速率。本项目期间，我们还将开发一套集成在线射频干扰（Radio Frequency Interference, RFI）抑制功能的自动化脉冲星折叠模式在线处理流水线。该流水线将作为ATNF的一项服务向其他用户开放使用。
