Abstract
The Parkes survey of the entire southern sky for millisecond and other low-luminosity pulsars has now been completed. The survey system and initial results were described by Manchester et al, and the final resu lts and population studies are described by Lyne et al, A total of 298 pulsars were detected, including 101 new discoveries of which 17 were millisecond pulsars, Here we report on timing observations at Parkes and Jodrell Bank of the 84 long-period (non-millisecond) pulsars disco vered in the survey, including timing solutions for 78 of them, Pulse profiles and arrival times were obtained at several different frequenc ies over intervals of more than a year, yielding a position, period, p eriod derivative and dispersion measure for each pulsar. Pulse profile s at frequencies near 400 MHz and 600 or 1400 MHz are presented for mo st of the observed pulsars. Significant timing noise was detected for five pulsars and a glitch was observed in the period of PSR J1123-6259 .
