Parkes observations for project PX500 semester 2024APRS_09

This proposal relates to time purchased by the Chinese Academy of Sciences for Parkes follow-up confirmation and timing of FAST discoveries. As the observing time has been purchased this proposal (and the related PX501) does not require TAC grading. The primary reason for submitting a proposal is to ensure an outreach statement and that the proposal is entered into OPAL for the data archive to access. The Chinese team have two time requests. The time scheduled for the first, relating to this proposal, will be allocated in blocks of 24 hours and the data will become available in the data archive with an 18 month embargo period. The second type of time will be scheduled in shorter blocks and the data archived with a 10 year embargo.

本提案涉及中国科学院为帕克斯（Parkes）望远镜开展FAST（Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope，500米口径球面射电望远镜）发现天体的后续验证与计时观测所采购的观测时长。鉴于该观测时长已完成采购流程，本提案（及关联的PX501提案）无需经由时间分配委员会（Time Allocation Committee，TAC）进行评级。提交本提案的核心目标，在于完成科学传播（outreach）声明，并将本提案录入OPAL系统以支撑数据存档与访问工作。中方团队共提出两项观测时长申请：其一为本提案对应的观测计划，其观测任务将以24小时为区块开展分配，相关数据存入数据档案库后将设置18个月的保密期限（embargo period）；其二的观测时长将以更短的区块形式分配，相关数据存档后将设置10年的保密期限。
