Not just a phase: detecting nanohertz gravitational waves from phase alone

Kathrin Grunthal, Eric Thrane, Rutger van Haasteren +2

Unambiguously detecting a gravitational-wave background (GWB) in pulsar-timing data requires a robust detection statistic. The pulsar timing community currently relies heavily on t…

The first MeerKAT S-band globular cluster pulsar survey

Rouhin Nag, Marta Burgay, Alessandro Ridolfi +19

Globular clusters are efficient factories of recycled pulsars, but searches toward high-dispersion-measure (DM) clusters can be strongly limited near 1 GHz by dispersive smearing a…

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 MeerKAT Telescope as a Pulsar Facility: System verification and early science results from MeerTime

M. Bailes, A. Jameson, F. Abbate +72

We describe system verification tests and early science results from the pulsar processor (PTUSE) developed for the newly-commissioned 64-dish SARAO MeerKAT radio telescope in Sout…

A search for extragalactic pulsars in the Local Group galaxies IC 10 and Barnard's Galaxy

Hind Al Noori, Mallory S. E. Roberts, David Champion +3

As of today, more than 2500 pulsars have been found, nearly all in the Milky Way, with the exception of ~28 pulsars in the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds. However, there have be…

PSR J1906+0722: An Elusive Gamma-ray Pulsar

C. J. Clark, H. J. Pletsch, J. Wu +117

We report the discovery of PSR J1906+0722, a gamma-ray pulsar detected as part of a blind survey of unidentified Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) sources being carried out on the v…

Timing and Interstellar Scattering of Thirty-five Distant Pulsars Discovered in the PALFA Survey

D. J. Nice, E. Altiere, S. Bogdanov +34

We have made extensive observations of 35 distant slow (non-recycled) pulsars discovered in the ongoing Arecibo PALFA pulsar survey. Timing observations of these pulsars over sever…

Constraining Radio Emission from Magnetars

Patrick Lazarus, Victoria M. Kaspi, David J. Champion +2

We report on radio observations of five magnetars and two magnetar candidates carried out at 1950 MHz with the Green Bank Telescope in 2006-2007. The data from these observations w…

Rotation measure variations for 20 millisecond pulsars

Wenming Yan, R. N. Manchester, Willem van Straten +14

We report on variations in the mean position angle of the 20 millisecond pulsars being observed as part of the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array (PPTA) project. It is found that the obser…

Measuring the mass of solar system planets using pulsar timing

D. J. Champion, G. B. Hobbs, R. N. Manchester +19

High-precision pulsar timing relies on a solar-system ephemeris in order to convert times of arrival (TOAs) of pulses measured at an observatory to the solar system barycenter. Any…

Observations of radio pulses from CU Virginis

V. Ravi, G. Hobbs, D. Wickramasinghe +7

The magnetic chemically peculiar star CU Virginis is a unique astrophysical laboratory for stellar magnetospheres and coherent emission processes. It is the only known main sequenc…
