Parkes observations for project P1054 semester 2020APRS_01

With this proposal we ask time to begin a follow-up campaign of potential new discoveries from the TRAPUM (TRAnsients and PUlsars with Meerkat) survey, which is due to start in January 2020. About 10 new pulsars are expected to be found during the first semester of operations, in targeted pointings towards supernova remnants, pulsar wind nebulae an... mored Fermi unidentified point sources. Timing observations have an essential role in exploiting the full potential of any pulsar discovery, allowing the precise measurement of rotational, astrometric and orbital parameters which, in turn, give us powerful tools to improve our understanding of the physics in extreme environments as well as of the population of neutron stars as a whole. The UWL receiver of the Parkes telescope is a sensitive, versatile instrument that will allow us to successfully time the bright-end of TRAPUM discoveries. We here request (up to) 2-hr long monthly observations of any new TRAPUM pulsar with a flux density at 1.4 GHz above $\sim 60 \mu$Jy. less
