Subject Astronomical sciences not elsewhere classified
 
Description We propose timing observations of the relativistic pulsar - white-dwarf binary, PSR J1141$-$6545. This unique system offers access to a wide range of physics, from relativistic phenomena through pulsar emission cone studies, to the structure and distribution of interstellar plasma along our line-of-sight. The Parkes Ultra Wide Band Low Frequency (UWL) receiver has opened up the possibility of performing the first-ever studies of its orbital dynamics at high temporal resolution. Our analysis of data obtained to date suggests that the pulsar will precess away from our line-of-sight before 2023. Hence, regular observations are crucial to maximize science outcomes with this source.
