| 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, the orbital eccentricity, and to search for gamma-ray pulsations. |
