The NANOGrav Nine-year Data Set: Limits on the Isotropic Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background

Zaven Arzoumanian, Adam Brazier, Sarah Burke-Spolaor +45

We compute upper limits on the nanohertz-frequency isotropic stochastic gravitational wave background (GWB) using the 9-year data release from the North American Nanohertz Observat…

The hunt for new pulsars with the Green Bank Telescope

Ryan S. Lynch, Anne M. Archibald, Shawn Banaszak +33

The Green Bank Telescope (GBT) is the largest fully steerable radio telescope in the world and is one of our greatest tools for discovering and studying radio pulsars. Over the las…

The Green Bank Telescope 350 MHz Drift-scan Survey II: Data Analysis and the Timing of 10 New Pulsars, Including a Relativistic Binary

Ryan S. Lynch, Jason Boyles, Scott M. Ransom +17

We have completed a 350 MHz drift scan survey using the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope with the goal of finding new radio pulsars, especially millisecond pulsars that can be t…

The Green Bank Telescope 350 MHz Drift-scan Survey I: Survey Observations and the Discovery of 13 Pulsars

Jason Boyles, Ryan S. Lynch, Scott M. Ransom +17

Over the summer of 2007, we obtained 1191 hours of `drift-scan' pulsar search observations with the Green Bank Telescope at a radio frequency of 350 MHz. Here we describe the surve…

Shapiro delay measurement of a two solar mass neutron star

Paul Demorest, Tim Pennucci, Scott Ransom +2

Neutron stars are composed of the densest form of matter known to exist in our universe, and thus provide a unique laboratory for exploring the properties of cold matter at super-n…
