Bayesian Solar Wind Modeling with Pulsar Timing Arrays

Jeffrey S. Hazboun, Joseph Simon, Dustin R. Madison +27

Using Bayesian analyses we study the solar electron density with the NANOGrav 11-year pulsar timing array (PTA) dataset. Our model of the solar wind is incorporated into a global f…

A radio technosignature search towards Proxima Centauri resulting in a signal-of-interest

Shane Smith, Danny C Price, Sofia Z Sheikh +15

The detection of life beyond Earth is an ongoing scientific endeavour, with profound implications. One approach, known as the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), seeks…

Analysis of the Breakthrough Listen signal of interest blc1 with a technosignature verification framework

Sofia Z. Sheikh, Shane Smith, Danny C. Price +15

The aim of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is to find technologically-capable life beyond Earth through their technosignatures. On 2019 April 29, the Breakthrou…

The NANOGrav 12.5-year data set: Search for Non-Einsteinian Polarization Modes in theGravitational-Wave Background

Zaven Arzoumanian, Paul T. Baker, Harsha Blumer +68

We search NANOGrav's 12.5-year data set for evidence of a gravitational wave background (GWB) with all the spatial correlations allowed by general metric theories of gravity. We fi…

An In Situ Study of Turbulence Near Stellar Bow Shocks

S. K. Ocker, J. M. Cordes, S. Chatterjee +1

Stellar bow shocks are observed in a variety of interstellar environments and are shaped by the conditions of gas in the interstellar medium (ISM). In situ measurements of turbulen…

Searching For Gravitational Waves From Cosmological Phase Transitions With The NANOGrav 12.5-year dataset

Zaven Arzoumanian, Paul T. Baker, Harsha Blumer +62

We search for a first-order phase transition gravitational wave signal in 45 pulsars from the NANOGrav 12.5 year dataset. We find that the data can be modeled in terms of a strong…

The NANOGrav 12.5-Year Data Set: Polarimetry and Faraday Rotation Measures from Observations of Millisecond Pulsars with the Green Bank Telescope

Haley M. Wahl, Maura McLaughlin, Peter A. Gentile +28

In this work, we present polarization profiles for 23 millisecond pulsars observed at 820 MHz and 1500 MHz with the Green Bank Telescope as part of the NANOGrav pulsar timing array…

Refined Mass and Geometric Measurements of the High-Mass PSR J0740+6620

Emmanuel Fonseca, H. Thankful Cromartie, Timothy T. Pennucci +42

We report results from continued timing observations of PSR J0740+6620, a high-mass, 2.8-ms radio pulsar in orbit with a likely ultra-cool white dwarf companion. Our data set consi…

The NANOGrav 11yr Data Set: Limits on Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in Galaxies within 500Mpc

Zaven Arzoumanian, Paul T. Baker, Adam Brazier +54

Supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) should form frequently in galactic nuclei as a result of galaxy mergers. At sub-parsec separations, binaries become strong sources of low-…

The Breakthrough Listen Search for Intelligent Life: Searching for Technosignatures in Observations of TESS Targets of Interest

Raffy Traas, Steve Croft, Vishal Gajjar +10

Exoplanetary systems are prime targets for the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). With the recent uptick in the identification of candidate and confirmed exoplanets t…
