The NANOGrav Nine-Year Data Set: Measurement and Interpretation of Variations in Dispersion Measures

M. L. Jones, M. A. McLaughlin, M. T. Lam +21

We analyze dispersion measure (DM) variations of 37 millisecond pulsars in the 9-year NANOGrav data release and constrain the sources of these variations. Variations are significan…

The NANOGrav Nine-Year Data Set: Excess Noise in Millisecond Pulsar Arrival Times

M. T. Lam, J. M. Cordes, S. Chatterjee +22

Gravitational wave astronomy using a pulsar timing array requires high-quality millisecond pulsars, correctable interstellar propagation delays, and high-precision measurements of…

The NANOGrav Nine-year Data Set: Mass and Geometric Measurements of Binary Millisecond Pulsars

Emmanuel Fonseca, Timothy T. Pennucci, Justin A. Ellis +17

We analyze 24 binary radio pulsars in the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) nine-year data set. We make fourteen significant measurements of S…

From Spin Noise to Systematics: Stochastic Processes in the First International Pulsar Timing Array Data Release

L. Lentati, R. M. Shannon, W. A. Coles +80

We analyse the stochastic properties of the 49 pulsars that comprise the first International Pulsar Timing Array (IPTA) data release. We use Bayesian methodology, performing model…

The International Pulsar Timing Array: First Data Release

J. P. W. Verbiest, L. Lentati, G. Hobbs +89

The highly stable spin of neutron stars can be exploited for a variety of (astro-)physical investigations. In particular arrays of pulsars with rotational periods of the order of m…

The NANOGrav Nine-year Data Set: Monitoring Interstellar Scattering Delays

Lina Levin, Maura A. McLaughlin, Glenn Jones +22

We report on an effort to extract and monitor interstellar scintillation parameters in regular timing observations collected for the NANOGrav pulsar timing array. Scattering delays…
