Parkes observations for project P574 semester 2018APRS_01

We request time to observe 260 pulsars on a regular basis in order to provide the accurate ephemerides necessary for the detection and characterisation of gamma-ray pulsars with the Fermi satellite. The main science goals are to increase the number of known gamma-ray pulsars (both radio loud and radio quiet), to determine accurate pulse profiles, and to characterise their high energy (phase-resolved) spectra. In the radio, the observations will also allow us to find glitches, characterise timing noise, investigate dispersion and rotation measure variability, and enhance our knowledge of single pulse phenomenology. To date, we
are (co-)authors on 70 papers arising from the collaboration and P574 data. The data have contributed to the PhD theses of students from Bordeaux, Stanford, Swinburne and Oxford.

我们申请长期定期观测260颗脉冲星，以获取精准的星历表（ephemerides），为费米卫星（Fermi satellite）探测与表征γ射线脉冲星提供必要支撑。本项目的核心科学目标包括：扩充已知γ射线脉冲星的样本数量（涵盖射电亮脉冲星与射电静默脉冲星两类），获取精准的脉冲轮廓，并对其高能（相位分辨）能谱进行表征。在射电波段的观测还将助力我们发现脉冲星自转突变（glitches）、表征计时噪声、研究色散与旋转测量变异性，并深化对单脉冲现象学的认知。截至目前，我们作为合作（共同）作者已基于本合作项目与P574数据集发表70篇学术论文。本数据集还支撑了波尔多大学、斯坦福大学、斯威本科技大学与牛津大学学生的博士学位论文研究。
