Scientific paper

We present timing observations of four millisecond pulsars, using data obtained over three years at the ATNF Parkes and NRAL Jodrell Bank radio telescopes. Astrometric, spin, and binary parameters are updated, and substantially improved for three pulsars, PSRs J0613-0200, J1045-4509 and J1643-1224. We have measured the time variation of the projected semi-major axis of the PSR J0437-4715 orbit due to its proper motion, and use it to constrain the inclination of the orbit and the mass of the companion. Some evidence is found for changes in the dispersion measures of PSRs J1045-4509 and J1643-1224. Limits are placed on the existence of planetary mass companions, ruling out companions with masses and orbits similar to the terrestrial planets of the solar system for eight pulsars.
