The international pulsar timing array project: using pulsars as a gravitational wave detector

arXiv:0911.5206 · doi:10.1088/0264-9381/27/8/084013

Abstract

The International Pulsar Timing Array project combines observations of pulsars from both Northern and Southern hemisphere observatories with the main aim of detecting ultra-low frequency (~10^-9 to 10^-8 Hz) gravitational waves. Here we introduce the project, review the methods used to search for gravitational waves emitted from coalescing supermassive binary black-hole systems in the centres of merging galaxies and discuss the status of the project.
