Scientific paper

In recent months we have continued to study the remarkable radio magnetar XTE J1810-197 using a variety of telescopes spanning the radio-infrared-X-ray range. A great deal of temporal variation is observed, with the pulsar now generally much weaker (and hence harder to observe) than before late July 2006. At Parkes we have obtained unique information on the polarimetric characteristics of its emission. We have no idea whether the pulsar will disappear below detectability (or brighten!) within the coming term, and wish to maintain close monitoring of its behaviour. At Parkes we will concentrate on using the unique complement of receivers and backends available for polarimetric studies, along with some timing/spectral studies that cannot be done at GBT this term. In all, we request 60 hr of Parkes time this semester.
