limiting flux density of the survey is about 0.2 mJy. At shorter or longer periods or higher dispersions, the sensitivity is reduced. Timing observations are carried out for pulsars discovered in the survey for 12‐18 months after confirmation to obtain accurate positions, spin parameters, dispersion measures, pulse shapes and mean flux densities. The survey is proving to be extremely successful, with more than 600 pulsars discovered so far. We expect that, when complete, this one survey will come close to finding as many pulsars as all previous pulsar surveys put together. The newly discovered pulsars tend to be young, distant and of high radio luminosity. They will form a valuable sample for studies of pulsar emission properties, the Galactic distribution and evolution of pulsars, and as probes of interstellar medium properties. This paper reports the timing and pulse shape parameters for the first 100 pulsars timed at Parkes, including three pulsars with periods of less than 100 ms which are members of binary systems. These results are briefly compared with the parameters of the previously known population.

THE GALACTIC POSITION DEPENDENCE OF FAST RADIO BURSTS AND THE DISCOVERY OF FRB011025 (2014, background): “This gap widens when considering the nondetection of FRBs in other low-latitude surveys, notably the PKSMB survey of Manchester et al. (2001) and its Perseus Arm counterpart (Burgay et al. 2013), the PALFA survey reported by Deneva et al. (2009), and the search of 23.5% of the High Time Resolution…”

Pulsar nulling and mode changing (2007, unknown): “Phase-time diagrams (see Manchester et al. 2001) for all pulsars detected in this survey were examined and those showing evidence for nulling were selected.”
