The impact of Solar wind variability on pulsar timing

C. Tiburzi, G. M. Shaifullah, C. G. Bassa +22

High-precision pulsar timing requires accurate corrections for dispersive delays of radio waves, parametrized by the dispersion measure (DM), particularly if these delays are varia…

Dispersion measure variability for 36 millisecond pulsars at 150MHz with LOFAR

J. Y. Donner, J. P. W. Verbiest, C. Tiburzi +19

Radio pulses from pulsars are affected by plasma dispersion, which results in a frequency-dependent propagation delay. Variations in the magnitude of this effect lead to an additio…

Massive black hole binary systems and the NANOGrav 12.5 year results

Hannah Middleton, Alberto Sesana, Siyuan Chen +3

The North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) has recently reported evidence for the presence of a common stochastic signal across their array of puls…

A precise mass measurement of PSR J2045+3633

J. W. McKee, P. C. C. Freire, M. Berezina +10

We present the results of a timing analysis undertaken with the goal of obtaining an improved mass measurement of the recycled pulsar J2045+3633. Using regular high-cadence observa…

A revisit of PSR J19093744 with 15-year high-precision timing

K. Liu, L. Guillemot, A. G. Istrate +10

We report on a high-precision timing analysis and an astrophysical study of the binary millisecond pulsar, PSR J19093744, motivated by the accumulation of data with well improve…

Measuring Interstellar Delays of PSR J0613-0200 over 7 years, using the Large European Array for Pulsars

R. A. Main, S. A. Sanidas, J. Antoniadis +19

Using data from the Large European Array for Pulsars (LEAP), and the Effelsberg telescope, we study the scintillation parameters of the millisecond pulsar J0613-0200 over a 7 year…

Einstein@Home Discovery of the Gamma-ray Millisecond Pulsar PSR J2039-5617 Confirms Its Predicted Redback Nature

C. J. Clark, L. Nieder, G. Voisin +19

The Fermi Large Area Telescope gamma-ray source 3FGL J2039.65618 contains a periodic optical and X-ray source that was predicted to be a "redback" millisecond pulsar (MSP) binar…

Timing stability of black widow pulsars

Ann-Sofie Bak Nielsen, Gemma H. Janssen, Golam Shaifullah +13

We study the timing stability of three black widow pulsars, both in terms of their long-term spin evolution and their shorter-term orbital stability. The erratic timing behaviour a…

A census of the pulsar population observed with the international LOFAR station FR606 at low frequencies (25-80~MHz)

L. Bondonneau, J. -M. Grießmeier, G. Theureau +5

To date, only 69 pulsars have been identified with a detected pulsed radio emission below 100 MHz. A LOFAR-core LBA census and a dedicated campaign with the Nançay LOFAR station in…
