Parkes observations for project P789 semester 2017OCTS

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, 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）射电望远镜在毫秒脉冲星（millisecond pulsars, MSPs）发现领域已取得斐然成果——该类天体涵盖了目前已知中部分最具科学研究价值与学术意义的脉冲星。近数年来，我们依托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。在此我们提议对这批源开展精确计时观测，以充分挖掘这些发现的科学潜力。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）中极具科学价值的发现样本。
为最大化本项目的科学影响力，我们将此前多项提案中的核心观测源整合至本项目，既缩减了所需总观测时长，也减轻了观测调度的工作负担。
