title: Parkes observations for project P858 semester 2014APRS38

description: SUPERB is a large-scale survey for pulsars and extragalactic radio bursts. It will use highly optimised GPU codes to search for pulsars and fast radio bursts (FRBs), making discoveries in real time. Handling our data as it comes in is essential for the SKA Phase I era so this work applies directly to the high-data rates of next generation telescopes. The pulsars discovered will enable studies of the interstellar medium, allow us to more accurately constrain the MSP luminosity function (which informs estimates of the SKA yield of MSPs), tests of theories of gravity and several will contribute to the precision timing projects of the PPTA. The FRBs discovered will have much more associated information than all previous detections. Firstly the discovery lag will be ~1 second, rather than months/years. The Parkes observations will be shadowed by the Molonglo telescope to allow, for the first time, localisation of FRBs, and a host of optical and high-energy telescopes will then be triggered as appropriate. This is key for identifying FRB host galaxies, so as to solve the mystery of their progenitors. The survey will discover ~20 MSPs, ~100 slower pulsars and ~10 FRBs.

title: Parkes observations for project P875 semester 2014APRS

description: In this proposal we aim to measure the flux densities of more than 500 pulsars in a systematic way. Doing this we will vastly improve upon the current spectral knowledge of the pulsar population and provide at least 1000 new measurements at 732 and 3100 MHz for about a quarter of the currently known pulsars. This is extremely important both for pulsar population studies, in particular for determining the spectral index of the radio emission, investigations of the pulsar emission mechanism and for optimizing observing strategies for next generation telescopes, such as the SKA. This proposal also acts as preparatory work for the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope, which we are refurbishing at the moment. This work will help us constrain the flux density expected at the centre frequency of Molonglo, at 843 MHz. We will also use the new data from Parkes to check and update the ephemerides of all the selected pulsars in order to have a database that is as up to date as possible before observations with Molonglo commence. We will also investigate the averaged pulse profiles and how they change with frequency.

title: Parkes observations for project P867 semester 2014APRS01

description: Fermi has revolutionized our understanding of the GeV sky, and given us a map for finding new radio millisecond pulsars (MSPs). In the past four years, radio astronomers and LAT team members have discovered 56 MSPs in searches of Fermi-LAT unassociated sources. The vast majority of these pulsars were discovered and followed-up by the "Pulsar Search Consortium" from sources detected in the first and second year Fermi all-sky catalogs. Now, the LAT team is preparing a new catalog with significant improvements in both the gamma-ray event classification and modeling of the gamma-ray backgrounds. A preliminary version of this new catalog contains several hundred new unidentified gamma-ray sources, many of which may be MSPs. We request a series of deep observations to search for pulsations in 24 southern sources with pulsar-like gamma-ray spectra.

title: Parkes observations for project P874 semester 2014APRS_BPSR_02

description: We propose to perform a directed search for a pulsed radio-emitting counterpart to the rotation-powered 206-ms X-ray pulsar PSR J1640-4631, recently discovered with the NuSTAR X-ray telescope.  This source has a very large spin-down rate, and hence is an excellent and rare candidate for the measurement of the source's “braking index,” a fundamental test of the electromagnetic braking hypothesis.  A braking index below 2, as has been recently measured for a similar pulsar, would provide further evidence of a connection between pulsars and magnetars.  We request time to initially verify this pulsar’s radio detectability, and to perform coherent timing observations that would lead to the aforementioned braking index measurement.  If the pulsar is not detected in the initial observations, we will inform the director to withdraw the timing observation portion of our request.

title: Parkes observations for project P865 semester 2014APRS

description: In this pilot observing programme, we propose to observe at high cadence the transient gravitational-wave and radio-wave Universe.  The goals of these observations are threefold: 1) To improve the timing precision of secondary pulsars in the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array (PPTA) to accelerate the detection of gravitational waves; 2) To characterise the gravitational wave universe in the hitherto unexplored microhertz frequency band; and 3)  To develop methods and search for fast radio bursts (FRBs) while conducting precision time experiments. To achieve these goals, we request  120 hours of observations with the Parkes multibeam system, divided into 10 epochs comprising 12-hour LST days.     

This pilot project acts as a feasibility study for modifications to both the PPTA project and the International Pulsar Timing Array (IPTA), the consortium coordinating timing array observations in Australia, Europe, and North America, and assess the feasibility of searching for fast radio bursts while conduction precision timing observations.

title: Parkes observations for project P574 semester 2014APRS04

description: We request time to observe 180 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 45 papers arising from the collaboration and P574 data. The data have contributed to the PhD theses of Lucas Guillemot and Damien Parent from the Bordeaux Fermi group and Kyle Watters from Stanford. Currently four students have active projects using the radio datasets.

title: Parkes observations for project P789 semester 2014APRS

description: 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). 
To 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.
This project also makes use of all beams of the 21-cm receiver to search for transient radio burst of extragalactic origin at the same time as performing timing observations.

title: Parkes observations for project P873 semester 2014APRS

description: The radio emission process in pulsars is not understood. However, pulsar timing is successfully used in extracting exciting science from radio pulsars and their environments. We are now approaching the point where the limits in our understanding of pulsar emission, affect the precision of pulsar timing experiments. State-switching and intermittent pulsars both show correlated changes between the shape of the average pulse profile and the spin-down rate, that is the first derivative of the rotational period. The spin-down rate changes have been shown to be related to changes in the torque imparted on the neutron star by magnetospheric currents. Our team have recently uncovered an extreme example of a state-switching pulsar in J0738-4042, adding to the small sample of known such sources, and showing that variability exists on a wide range of timescales. We now propose a further experiment to understand the connection between emission changes and timing irregularities. For this, we will target pulsars with well-known emission variability, which occurs on timescales of the order of the pulsar period, so-called moding and nulling. Using weekly monitoring, we will show whether there is a connection between the well known short timescale phenomena, and the long term intermittency and state-switching. Our ultimate objective is to understand what causes long-term variability in pulsars, be it an internal or external cause, and to include this knowledge in improved pulsar timing models.

title: Parkes observations for project P626 semester 2014APRS01

description: We plan to search for pulsed radio-emission in transient "magnetar" sources (already known or to be discovered yet at the time of submission of this proposal), during the phase following an X-ray outburst, i.e. after an increasing of the X-ray flux of the magnetar of a factor at least 10 with respect to the normal emission. Observations of past years showed that radio-emission has been triggered in transient magnetars in at least 4 cases over 10 after this kind of outburst. However, in several cases, no prompt radio observation had been planned, preventing to investigate the phase of onset of the radio emission. That may greatly contribute to clarify the nature of the radio-emission mechanism in magnetars and the relation between them and the canonical radio pulsars. A similar program of NAPA observations has been planned by our group at various X-ray satellites and ground-based infrared and optical telescopes, thus allowing a multi-wavelenght investigation of the sources. To fully exploit our multi-wavelength data sets, we also intend to perform simultaneous X-ray and radio follow-ups of magnetars for which a trigger of this programme was obtained during current or previous semester.

title: Parkes observations for project P864 semester 2014APRS

description: The Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) discovered in 2007 are the very first detections of extragalactic coherent radio emission. Though similar in nature to the giant single pulses emitted by the Rotating Radio Transients (RRATs) in terms of their cold plasma dispersion sweeps and narrow pulse widths, FRBs have not yet been detected in follow up observations at radio or other wavelengths. Our pilot study will examine the feasibility to determine the Rotation Measures (RM) of moderately bright RRAT single pulses similar to FRBs. Since the FRBs are highly energetic pulses of very short duration, they can be assumed to be polarised. This study to measure single pulse RMs could then open up a whole new possibility to map the extragalactic magnetic field of the Universe through FRB polarimetry. At present, we do not know whether cosmological magnetic fields exist, but the detection of sufficiently strong fields would open up a new observational window into the early Universe. The Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM) is believed to be the residing place of the Universeâs missing baryonic matter. If the RM of an FRB can be determined through the diffuse WHIM, it would be the beginning to our understanding of the matter distribution within the cosmic web.

title: Parkes observations for project P869 semester 2014APRS

description: Pulsars found closely orbiting the supermassive black hole candidate at the centre of our Galaxy, Sgr A*, could be used to perform the most precise tests of theories of gravity, and to accurately measure the properties of the black hole itself, such as the mass and spin. These measurements can be used to test the no hair theorem and cosmic censorship conjecture in Einsteins theory of General Relativity. The recent discovery of a magnetar in the immediate vicinity of Sgr A* prooves pulsars are indeed present in this region and detectable at lower frequencies than previously thought. We propose to perfom deep searches for such pulsars.
