The PPTA pulsars

The PPTA project is currently observing 20 millisecond pulsars with the Parkes radio telescope.

The companion masses for all of the binary systems are consistent with being white-dwarf stars.

Typical Pulse Profiles after the scheduled observing time (Tobs) can be found here
Pulse profiles after Tobs/8 observation can be found here

We also have observed the following pulsars in the past:

J0024-7204J
J1435-6100
J1623-2631
J1721-2457
J1757-5322
J2317+1439

The PPTA observations are complemented by the Swinburne-based 'P140 - Precision Pulsar Timing' project. Whilst the two projects have had quite some overlap in their targetted sources, in the upcoming term P140 will concentrate on PSRs J0437-4715, J1909-3744 and J1713+0747 only.
