Description We propose to carry out a long-term timing campaign of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) discovered in the Globular Cluster Omega Centauri. So far, we have discovered seven MSPs and obtained coherent timing solutions for five of them. Monthly observations with the Parkes Ultra-Wideband Low (UWL) receiver system are requested to time known pulsars and search for new pulsars. Long-term timing and polarisation observations of these MSPs will provide us a new way to (1) study the dynamics of the core and constrain the existence of any intermediate-mass black holes; (2) reveal the origin of Gamma-ray emission from the core and put stringent constraints on dark matter parameters; (3) study Galactic ionised medium and magnetic fields on parsec scales.
