This proposal has been submitted before. The previous proposal number is P2789. Proposal Type: General Category: Observation Category: Total Time Requested: Minimum Useful Time: Prop osal Title: ABSTRACT: Regular Pulsars Galactic 56.75 Hours

Timing of pulsars discovered by the PALFA survey

We request a total of 89.5 hours over the course of a year. We wish to derive precision timing solutions for 17 pulsars found in the PALFA survey. Of these, 14 were discovered in the last 6 months, in order to determine spin and binary parameters, and hence fundamental properties such as astrometry, ages, magnetic fields, and spin-down luminosities. Two of these are millisecond pulsars (MSPs) and/or binary pulsars, each with its own particular science potential, 6 are Rotating Radio Transients (RRATs), and 6 are long-period pulsars vital for population and Galactic studies. We also wish to continue regular timing observations of 3 pulsars; 2 are MSPs for which continued monitoring can reveal further properties relevant to determination of their respective types and evolutions, and one is a long-period pulsar, for which we request time to obtain significant measurements of its spin and astrometric properties.

RFI Considerations Frequency Ranges Planned
1180-1780 This proposal requires Iridium RFI protection at 1612 MHz between 10pm and 6am EST. This proposal requires coordination with Punta Salinas radar within the band 1222-1381 MHz.. This proposal requires coordination with GPS L3 at 1381 MHz.
