Parkes observations for project P1067 semester 2020APRS_06

The Parkes Ultra-wide-bandwidth receiver enables, for the first time with the Parkes telescope, a commensal high time and high frequency resolution survey. We will observe Baade's window in which we are guaranteed detections of pulsars and spectral lines. Our science drivers are diverse and range from understanding scattering, to detecting new pulsars, to searching for galaxies in the zone of avoidance, probing the globular cluster at the centre of the window and studying OH circumstellar masers and CO-dark molecular gas. The observing strategy and processing software developed for this survey will be applicable to all future Parkes surveys with the wide-band receiver or cyrogenically-cooled phased array feed.
