Parkes observations for project P789 semester 2019OCTS_01

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（Parkes）天文台在毫秒脉冲星（millisecond pulsars, MSPs）发现领域近年取得了显著成果——该类天体涵盖了目前已知最具科学价值与研究意义的脉冲星群体。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（Fermi）搜寻项目（P675/P814），已发现超过40颗毫秒脉冲星。在此背景下，我们计划对这批源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）项目中发现的核心重要源。
为最大化本项目的科学产出效益，我们将过往各类提案中的关键研究源整合至本项目中，既降低了总观测时长需求，也减轻了观测调度的工作负担。
