Pulsar parameters from timing observations

Abstract

Timing observations on 126 pulsars of which only four had previously published period derivatives have been made over an 18-month interval using the Parkes 64-m telescope. Positions, periods and period derivatives were determined from full timing solutions for 121 pulsars and partial solutions were obtained for another three. Discontinuous changes in period were observed in one or possibly two pulsars. Improved dispersion measures were also derived for most of the observed pulsars.
