Parkes observations for project P1338 semester 2025APRS_12

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration radio bursts of extragalactic origin. Since the discovery of the first FRB in the archival Parkes/Murriyang multibeam data, a broad dichotomy in population has emerged. Some FRBs have been seen to be repeating, while others are not, despite a significant amount of follow-up using different radio telescopes. The repeating FRB 20240114A was recently discovered by CHIME/FRB, which has been seen to have an exceptionally high burst activity. Such extreme burst activity has not been seen in any other source. The repeating FRBs, such as FRB 20240114A, provide an unparalleled window into their circumburst environment due to their repeating nature, which can be used to constrain possible progenitor models and test underlying emission mechanisms. The previous Parkes/Murriyang source follow-up has also revealed intriguing spectro-polarimetric properties, such as frequency-dependent evolution of burst central frequency or chromaticity, a possible activity window, significantly large circular polarisation (CP), and frequency-dependent CP. These properties hold the key towards understanding the circumburst environment of the FRBs, and test possible progenitor models. A large bandwidth instrument with reliable polarimetry has been critical in uncovering these properties. The ultra-wideband low (UWL) receiver on Parkes/Murriyang is ideally suited to explore the source's wideband spectro-temporal and polarimetric behaviour. We propose a campaign to regularly follow up FRB 20240114A to ascertain its long-term evolution of spectro-temporal properties.

Deciphering the transcriptional landscape of NLR genes responding to Verticillium dahliae infection in cotton

Verticillium wilt (VW), a widespread disease caused by the fungal pathogen Verticillium dahliae, poses a significant challenge to global cotton production. Nucleotide-binding domain and Leucine-rich Repeat (NLR) genes play crucial roles in effector-trigged immunity (ETI) in plants. However, very few NLRs have been functionally characterised in cotton. In this study, we comprehensively investigate NLRs in Gossypium hirsutum by genome-wide identification of NLRs using multiple methodologies, exploring their evolution through comparative analysis with the NLRs identified in the ancestor species (G. arboreum and G. raimondii) of G. hirsutum, generating full-length NLR transcript isoforms using the third-generation long-read sequencing technology, analysing tissue- and cultivar-specific as well as V. dahliae induced alternative splicing events, and profiling the expression patterns of NLRs in response to V. dahliae infection in resistant or susceptible cotton cultivars. A total of 302, 289, and 511 NLRs were identified in G. arboreum, G. raimondii, and G. hirsutum, respectively, with evident loss and gain of NLRs in both At and Dt subgenomes of G. hirsutum after the tetraploidisation event. Despite about a quarter of the NLRs are canonical ones, about half of the NLRs contain only the NBS and LRR domains. Alternative splicing (AS) was frequently observed in NLRs. Many full-length NLR transcripts and AS events were found to be tissue- or cultivar-specific and induced by V. dahliae infection. Upon V. dahliae infection, more NLRs than other genes were differentially expressed, indicating the importance of NLRs in response to V. dahliae infection. More than half homoeologous NLR pairs showed a preferential expression of the Dt subgenome homoeolog, which seemed to be not impacted by V. dahliae infection. A total of 95 NLRs are located at the QTLs associated with V. dahliae resistance, 21 of them showed significant differences between resistant and susceptible cultivars. The function of NLRs in cotton resistance to V. dahliae was further demonstrated by enhanced disease symptoms observed in cotton plants with silenced Ghir_A04G002130 or Ghir_D01G011600. These findings provide invaluable insights into the landscape of cotton NLRs in defence responses against V. dahliae infection.

Realistic Australian Medium Voltage Feeder with Associated Low Voltage Feeders

This is a realistic data set based on a real-world power distributed network. Though the data set is constructed carefully, and sanity tests have been performed for both the topology and the impedance values in the data set, there was no further validation performed as part of this work. The data represents a single medium voltage feeder and 33 associated low voltage feeders in OpenDSS format. 
The medium voltage feeder data originates from suburban part of Australia. It is an 11 kV feeder with a variety of residential LV feeders underneath, with an operational voltage of 400/230 V +/-10%. 
An OpenDSS model containing this data has been constructed. To make the data realistic for the Australian context, we have also made a number of additions to the data set based on engineering rules of thumb and best practice.
The data were obtained and cleaned in order to support a research project in 2025 on the calculation of dynamic operating envelopes.

Parkes observations for project P960 semester 2025APRS_02

We aim to carry out receiver pointing and characterisation tests of Parkes receivers. Typically, these tests are carried out after the receiver package is installed, but time does not always allow for proper characterisation. Receivers for consideration include UWL, MARS and 13MM packages. In addition to cross-referencing C007 for flux calibration via pointing, we aim to conduct gain-elevation and system temperature experiments using the Moon, to ensure users of the Parkes Observatory have the most accurate information available for calibration purposes.

Parkes observations for project P1365 semester 2025APRS_03

We propose a timing follow-up project for two newly discovered pulsars, J0915-6635 and J0917-6642, from the MWA-SMART survey. These pulsars were recently discovered from a blind periodic search of an 80-min SMART survey observation, with an localisation precision of 4 arcminutes. Initial flux density estimates suggest they are faint, requiring follow-up with the Parkes UWL receiver for precise timing solutions, flux density measurements, and polarimetric analysis. Initial analysis suggests a flux density 0.2-0.5 mJy for J0915-6635, and 0.1-0.3 mJy for J0917-6642  at 1.4 GHz, assuming a spectral index of -1.6. Observations with the Murriyang's UWL receiver will help enable a faster convergence to the full coherent timing solution and determine their spin and astrometric parameters, as well as further investigate this through measurements of pulsar flux densities and spectral indices. We will also perform a polarimetric analysis across a wide frequency range to better constrain the pulsars' geometries and emission properties.

Long-term project observations for project P1321 semester 2025APRS_01

The atomic interstellar medium shows tiny-scale optical depth fluctuations on the scale of 0.1~10,000 AU, whose origin and nature are poorly understood. The existence of this Tiny-Scale Atomic Structure (TSAS) has significant implications, potentially calling into question our fundamental understanding of heating, cooling and dynamical processes in the interstellar medium. Yet observations remain sparse. This long-term project plans to search for temporal variations in HI absorption spectra seen against background pulsars to characterise TSAS in the Milky Way interstellar medium (ISM). These observations constitute the largest number of sightlines and densest temporal sampling ever performed in a single experiment, and will test predictions that TSAS is the tail end of a turbulent cascade, constrain its minimum size scale (down to resolutions of ~0.05 AU) and potentially provide the first direct measurements of pressures in "large" TSAS features of &gt; 1000 AU. We make use of the phase-resolved spectral line mode that we have recently implemented on Parkes, which has cut data rates and processing times by factors of ~1000 compared to past studies. This is an expansion of our pilot P1321 to a long term study.

Parkes observations for project P1219 semester 2025APRS_01

Magnetic fields are fundamental in regulating star formation and the evolution of molecular clouds. Zeeman splitting offers a unique method to directly measure line-of-sight magnetic field strengths in interstellar environments, from the diffuse ISM to dense cores. Observations of HI and OH absorption toward pulsars provide an unprecedented opportunity to measure magnetic fields with high precision, benefiting from pulsars' small angular sizes and reliable Stokes V spectra unaffected by instrumental effects. Our recent tentative Zeeman splitting detections in OH absorption toward PSR J1644-4559 with Parkes reveal magnetic field strengths that suggest magnetically subcritical states, where magnetic pressure counteracts gravity. This challenges conventional theories of subcritical cold neutral medium (CNM) transitioning to supercritical star-forming molecular clouds, emphasizing the need for detailed investigation. We propose a continuation of Zeeman splitting studies through high-sensitivity OH and HI absorption observations of pulsars PSR J1644-4559, J1721-3532, and J1852+0031 using Parkes. By employing an innovative phase-resolved spectral technique and extending integration times, we aim to enhance Zeeman detection sensitivity and study magnetic field transitions in the CNM and quiescent molecular clouds. This work will refine our understanding of subcritical-to-supercritical transitions in star formation, establish pulsar absorption as a robust probe of interstellar magnetic fields, and advance observational techniques critical to star formation studies.

Parkes observations for project P1356 semester 2025APRS_03

Magnetars are neutron stars with exceptionally high magnetic fields. From the 30 known magnetars, only six have had radio emission detected so far. The remaining 24 magnetars are generally only searched for radio emission after an X-ray outburst. This added a strong selection bias to whether magnetars are radio loud or not. From the known six radio loud magnetars, we know that the radio emission changes quickly with time and for the magnetar XTE J1810-197, it has been observed that the radio flux increases strongly without an enhancement in X-ray flux. Thus, it remains unclear whether the radio quiet magnetars are in fact radio quiet and the radio X-ray relation appears to be rather complex.
  In this proposal, we propose a regular monitoring campaign of 4 radio quiet magnetars with bi-weekly observations using the Parkes UWL receiver. For 3 of the sources, we will have accompanying X-ray observations and thus, this will give an unique data set to probe the relation between radio and X-ray independent outbursts. Any detection of radio emission, i.e. single pulses or folded profiles, would be a major discovery and help to constrain the emission mechanisms of magnetars. This will also help to improve the understanding of the emission mechanism of fast radio bursts. However, also a non-detection of radio emission will provide upper limits that serve as a baseline before any future outburst of the observed magnetars as well as allow to constrain the formation process of magnetars in contrast to pulsars.

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration radio bursts of extragalactic origin. Since the discovery of the first FRB in the archival Parkes/Murriyang multibeam data, a broad dichotomy in population has emerged. Some FRBs have been seen to be repeating, while others are not, despite a significant amount of follow-up using different radio telescopes. The commissioning of new dedicated FRB detection systems has led to an exponential increase in the detected FRBs over the last decade. Despite &gt;700 FRBs published to date, there is still a lack of understanding about the physical mechanisms through which FRB emission is produced. Due to the possibility of detecting multiple bursts from the same source in a repeating FRB, it forms an ideal sample set to uncover the physics of the source (e.g., emission mechanism, progenitor surrounding media), and test possible progenitor models. The coherent upgrade to the FRB detection system to ASKAP is expected to detect ~1 FRB/week. However, due to the limited fractional bandwidth available with ASKAP and survey nature of the telescope, probing the spectro-polarimetric characteristics of repeating sources is non-optimal. Hence, the large bandwidth offered by the ultra wideband-low (UWL) on Parkes/Murriyang is an ideal instrument to follow-up repeating FRB sources discovered through CRACO. We propose using the unallocated time/Green Time on UWL to follow up repeater-like sources to study their wideband spectro-polarimetric characteristics.

We propose to monitor the bursts from the hyperactive repeating fast radio burst FRB 20240619D over six months using the Murriyang UWL receiver. The primary aim is to study the evolution of burst activity and polarization properties with frequency and time, and to discover any potential periodicity in the burst activity. These insights will enhance our understanding of the progenitor, emission physics, and the immediate magneto-ionic environment of FRB 20240619D, thereby informing the general FRB population. A total of 15 hours of observing between August and November 2024 resulted in over 1300 bursts detected using the UWL receiver. Some bursts exhibit complex spectro-temporal emission patterns. The burst rate, based on Murriyang and MeerKAT observations, indicates that the source was active until September 2nd, after which it became inactive. Given that two other repeating FRBs have exhibited periodic activity cycles, it is reasonable to expect that FRB 20240619D could become active again, making continued monitoring crucial. The UWL receiver's broad frequency coverage and sensitivity are essential for detecting many bursts and enabling simultaneous observations at different frequencies. This is important for understanding the burst activity evolution with time and frequency, spectral properties, and underlying emission mechanisms. The combination of sensitivity and wide bandwidth makes Murriyang the ideal telescope for monitoring this FRB. Results from these observations will be pivotal in understanding FRB 20240619D's place within the broader repeater population and its potential connection to broader FRB progenitor models.
