Search for Gravitational Wave Memory in PPTA and EPTA Data: A Complete Signal Model

Sharon Mary Tomson, Boris Goncharov, Rutger van Haasteren +21

We perform searches for gravitational wave memory in the data of two major Pulsar Timing Array (PTA) experiments located in Europe and Australia. Supermassive black hole binaries (…

The double neutron star PSR J1946+2052 I. Masses and tests of general relativity

Lingqi Meng, Paulo C. C. Freire, Kevin Stovall +28

We conducted high-precision timing of PSR J1946+2052 to determine the masses of the two neutron stars in the system, test general relativity (GR) and assessed the system's potentia…

Unlocking Gravity and Gravitational Waves with Radio Pulsars: Advances and Challenges

Huanchen Hu

Pulsars, the cosmic lighthouses, are strongly self-gravitating objects with core densities significantly exceeding nuclear density. Since the discovery of the Hulse--Taylor pulsar…

Tackling artefacts in the timing of relativistic pulsar binaries: towards the SKA

Huanchen Hu, Nataliya K. Porayko, Willem van Straten +3

Common signal-processing approximations produce artefacts when timing pulsars in relativistic binary systems, especially edge-on systems with tight orbits, such as the Double Pulsa…

Periodicity search in the timing of the 25 millisecond pulsars from the second data release of the European Pulsar Timing Array

Iuliana Nitu, Michael Keith, David Champion +17

In this work, we investigated the presence of strictly periodic, as well as quasi-periodic signals, in the timing of the 25 millisecond pulsars from the EPTA DR2 dataset. This is e…

The NANOGrav 15 yr Data Set: Chromatic Gaussian Process Noise Models for Six Pulsars

Bjorn Larsen, Chiara M. F. Mingarelli, Jeffrey S. Hazboun +61

Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) are designed to detect low-frequency gravitational waves (GWs). GWs induce achromatic signals in PTA data, meaning that the timing delays do not depend…

Measuring the Lense-Thirring Orbital Precession and the Neutron Star Moment of Inertia with Pulsars

Huanchen Hu, Paulo C. C. Freire

Neutron stars (NSs) are compact objects that host the densest forms of matter in the observable universe, providing unique opportunities to study the behaviour of matter at extreme…

A Gaussian-processes approach to fitting for time-variable spherical solar wind in pulsar timing data

Iuliana C. Niţu, Michael J. Keith, Caterina Tiburzi +26

Propagation effects are one of the main sources of noise in high-precision pulsar timing. For pulsars below an ecliptic latitude of , the ionised plasma in the solar wind…

High-altitude Magnetospheric Emissions from Two Pulsars

Mao Yuan, Weiwei Zhu, Michael Kramer +21

We discover three new weak pulse components in two known pulsars, one in PSR J0304+1932 and two in PSR J1518+4904. These components are emitted about half way between the main emis…
