Title Parkes observations for project P898 semester 2016APRS
 
Creator Fernando Camilo
 
Subject Astronomical and Space Sciences not elsewhere classified
 
Description Our initial Parkes study of the 5.4-day eclipsing millisecond pulsar
(MSP) J1417-4402 shows it to be the first system identified in the
Galaxy on a standard evolutionary track that will end as a typical
binary MSP with a low-mass white dwarf companion. With the requested
timing observations we seek to characterize the late phase in the
formation of a typical MSP binary, until now unobserved. In particular,
we aim to measure the pulsar spin-down luminosity, constrain the
orbital eccentricity, and seek gamma-ray pulsations.
