The NANOGrav 12.5-Year Data Set: Monitoring Interstellar Scattering Delays

Jacob E. Turner, Maura A. McLaughlin, James M. Cordes +33

We extract interstellar scintillation parameters for pulsars observed by the NANOGrav radio pulsar timing program. Dynamic spectra for the observing epochs of each pulsar were used…

Deconvolving Pulsar Signals with Cyclic Spectroscopy: A Systematic Evaluation

Timothy Dolch, Daniel R. Stinebring, Glenn Jones +8

Radio pulsar signals are significantly perturbed by their propagation through the ionized interstellar medium. In addition to the frequency-dependent pulse times of arrival due to…

Modeling the uncertainties of solar-system ephemerides for robust gravitational-wave searches with pulsar timing arrays

M. Vallisneri, S. R. Taylor, J. Simon +61

The regularity of pulsar emissions becomes apparent once we reference the pulses' times of arrivals to the inertial rest frame of the solar system. It follows that errors in the de…
