Parkes observations for project P1080 semester 2020OCTS_07

Brief description

We propose timing observations of a new pulsar discovered with the MWA. Thanks to the interferometric advantages of the MWA and the unique design of our survey we were able to determine the pulsar's position to <1 arcminute precision, thereby providing an opportunity for accelerated convergence of its timing solution and determine its spin and astrometric parameters. With an estimated luminosity ~0.1 mJy kpc^2 at 1.4 GHz, this may turn out to be a low-luminosity pulsar, of which only a handful are currently known. Observations with the ultra-wide band low-frequency receiver will help us further investigate this in detail through measurements flux densities and spectral index. We will also undertake polarimetric analysis of the new pulsar to better constrain the pulsar's geometry and emission properties.
