Title Parkes observations for project P630 semester 2009APRS_28
 
Creator Matthew Bailes
 
Subject Astronomical sciences not elsewhere classified
 
Description We propose to carry out the most ambitious and comprehensive all-sky survey for pulsars and transient sources to date. Using the 20cm multibeam and a new digital filterbank array this survey will create a petabyte digital record of the sky that can be data mined in the future and used to search for relativistic binary and millisecond pulsars, RRATs, and extragalactic radio bursts. The survey should discover 100s of new millisecond and normal pulsars and help define the lower limit to pulsar periods, test theories of relativistic gravity, find transients and provide pulsars for gravitational wave detection. With all the hardware in place, and our first new pulsar discovery made, we request a substantial time allocation this semester.
