Proposal Title: Timing of a 41-ms Pulsar Recently Discovered in 430-MHz Drift-Scan Search
Data
ABSTRACT:
We request 18 hr of observing time to carry out regular timing observations spanning a 12-month baseline on a
recently discovered 41-ms pulsar. Its spin period and high latitude suggest that it is likely to be recycled and could
even be a double neutron star binary. Timing recycled pulsars is important because of their rarity, timing stability,
and likelihood of having binary companions. If the pulsar is a relativistic binary, it will provide invaluable tests of
general relativity. The proposed observations will reveal the nature of this new pulsar and determine the spin,
astrometric and orbital parameters of this system to high precision.
