The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder telescope under construction in Western Australia will be used to search for, and study, pulsars.ˆà
The Parkes Pulsar Timing Array project aims to 1) make the first direct detection of gravitational waves, 2) develop a pulsar-based time standard and 3) search for errors in the Solar System planetary ephemeris.

The Australia Telescope National Facility (ATNF) Pulsar Catalogue provides access to the basic timing properties for all published pulsars. The Parkes pulsar data archive makes almost all pulsar observatons carried out at Parkes available online.
