Detection of X-ray Emission from a Bright Long-Period Radio Transient

Ziteng Wang, Nanda Rea, Tong Bao +46

Recently, a class of long-period radio transients (LPTs) has been discovered, exhibiting emission on timescales thousands of times longer than radio pulsars. Several models had bee…

The NANOGrav 15 yr Data Set: Harmonic Analysis of the Pulsar Angular Correlations

Gabriella Agazie, Jeremy G. Baier, Paul T. Baker +86

Pulsar timing array observations have found evidence for an isotropic gravitational wave background with the Hellings-Downs angular correlations, expected from general relativity.…

The NANOGrav 12.5-Year Data Set: Probing Interstellar Turbulence and Precision Pulsar Timing with PSR J1903+0327

Abra Geiger, James M. Cordes, Michael T. Lam +33

Free electrons in the interstellar medium refract and diffract radio waves along multiple paths, resulting in angular and temporal broadening of radio pulses that limits pulsar tim…

The NANOGrav 15 Yr Data Set: Removing Pulsars One by One from the Pulsar Timing Array

Gabriella Agazie, Akash Anumarlapudi, Anne M. Archibald +102

Evidence has emerged for a stochastic signal correlated among 67 pulsars within the 15-year pulsar-timing data set compiled by the NANOGrav collaboration. Similar signals have been…

Inference on inner galaxy structure via gravitational waves from supermassive binaries

Yifan Chen, Matthias Daniel, Daniel J. D'Orazio +107

The detection of a stochastic gravitational wave background by pulsar-timing arrays indicates the presence of a population of supermassive black hole binaries. Although the observe…

Probing the low-velocity regime of non-radiative shocks with neutron star bow shocks

S. K. Ocker, M. Cosens

Non-radiative shocks accelerate particles and heat astrophysical plasmas. While supernova remnants are the most well-studied example, neutron star (NS) bow shocks are also non-radi…

Bow Shock and Local Bubble Plasma Unveiled by the Scintillating Millisecond Pulsar J04374715

Daniel J. Reardon, Robert Main, Stella Koch Ocker +10

The ionized interstellar medium contains au-scale (and below) structures that scatter radio waves from pulsars, resulting in scintillation. Power spectral analysis of scintillation…

Preferential Occurrence of Fast Radio Bursts in Massive Star-Forming Galaxies

Kritti Sharma, Vikram Ravi, Liam Connor +24

Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-duration events detected from beyond the Milky Way. FRB emission characteristics favor highly magnetized neutron stars, or magnetars, as th…

The NANOGrav 15 yr Data Set: Running of the Spectral Index

Gabriella Agazie, Akash Anumarlapudi, Anne M. Archibald +102

The NANOGrav 15-year data provides compelling evidence for a stochastic gravitational-wave (GW) background at nanohertz frequencies. The simplest model-independent approach to char…

The NANOGrav 15 yr data set: Posterior predictive checks for gravitational-wave detection with pulsar timing arrays

Gabriella Agazie, Akash Anumarlapudi, Anne M. Archibald +99

Pulsar-timing-array experiments have reported evidence for a stochastic background of nanohertz gravitational waves consistent with the signal expected from a population of superma…

A Heavily Scattered Fast Radio Burst Is Viewed Through Multiple Galaxy Halos

Jakob T. Faber, Vikram Ravi, Stella Koch Ocker +16

We present a multi-wavelength study of the apparently non-repeating, heavily scattered fast radio burst, FRB 20221219A, detected by the Deep Synoptic Array 110 (DSA-110). The burst…

A Cyclic Spectroscopy Scintillation Study of PSR B1937+21 I. Demonstration of Improved Scintillometry

Jacob E. Turner, Timothy Dolch, James M. Cordes +8

We use cyclic spectroscopy to perform high frequency-resolution analyses of multi-hour baseband Arecibo observations of the millisecond pulsar PSR B1937+21. This technique allows f…

The NANOGrav 15 yr Data Set: Looking for Signs of Discreteness in the Gravitational-wave Background

Gabriella Agazie, Akash Anumarlapudi, Anne M. Archibald +97

The cosmic merger history of supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) is expected to produce a low-frequency gravitational wave background (GWB). Here we investigate how signs of…

Searching for Magnetar Binaries Disrupted by Core-Collapse Supernovae

Myles B. Sherman, Vikram Ravi, Kareem El-Badry +5

Core-collapse Supernovae (CCSNe) are considered the primary magnetar formation channel, with 15 magnetars associated with supernova remnants (SNRs). A large fraction of these shoul…
