Collection Title:

Parkes observations for project P971 semester 2018OCTS_29

Collection Description:

We propose timing observations of the relativistic pulsar - white-dwarf binary PSR J1141-6545. This unique system offers access to a wide range of physics, from relativistic phenomena through pulsar emission cone studies, to the structure and distribution of interstellar plasma along our line-of-sight. The recently installed Parkes Ultra Wide Band ... moreLow Frequency (UWL) receiver has opened up the possibility of performing first-ever studies of its orbital dynamics at high temporal resolution and study of the effects of the intra-binary medium on the dispersion and polarisation of the pulse profile. Our analysis of data obtained to date suggests that the pulsar would precess away from our line-of-sight in the next 3-5 years. Hence, regular observations are crucial to maximizing its science outcome less
