Brief description
This project aims to perform rapid measurements of relativistic parameters of southern binary pulsar systems enabling measurement of their component masses, using data from the Parkes Ultra-Wideband Low (UWL) receiver and the MeerKAT telescope. We will use the UWL data to obtain significant orbital coverage on these pulsars and obtain crucial constraints on orbital and temporal DM variations that will help in constraining the nature of the companion. We will then use MeerKAT data at crucial orbital phases to improve our chances of measuring relativistic parameters, and hence the component masses. Increase in the number of measured NS masses has profound implications for NS internal structure and for stellar and binary evolution physics.Data time period: 2020-10-01 to 2021-03-31
