Robust Bayesian non-linear pulsar timing and noise analysis using a sequential data-tempered ensemble sampler

Abhimanyu Susobhanan

We develop a sequential ensemble MCMC scheme for Bayesian pulsar timing and noise analysis that uses data size as the tempering parameter. The method enables gradual and reliable c…

Gaussian process representation of dispersion measure noise in pulsar wideband datasets

Abhimanyu Susobhanan, Rutger van Haasteren

The ionized interstellar medium disperses pulsar radio signals, resulting in a stochastic time-variable delay known as the dispersion measure (DM) noise. In the wideband paradigm o…
