The Deep Space Network (DSN) is a worldwide array of radio telescopes that
supports NASA’s interplanetary spacecraft missions. When the DSN antennas are
not communicating with spacecraft, they provide a valuable resource for
performing observations of radio magnetars, searches for new pulsars at the
Galactic Center, and additional pulsar-related studies. We describe the DSN’s
capabilities for carrying out these types of observations. We also present
results from observations of three radio magnetars, PSR J1745-2900, PSR
J1622-4950, and XTE J1810-197, and the transitional magnetar candidate, PSR
J1119-6127, using the DSN radio telescopes near Canberra, Australia.
