The NANOGrav 12.5-Year Data Set: Monitoring Interstellar Scattering Delays

Jacob E. Turner, Maura A. McLaughlin, James M. Cordes +33

We extract interstellar scintillation parameters for pulsars observed by the NANOGrav radio pulsar timing program. Dynamic spectra for the observing epochs of each pulsar were used…

Astrophysics Milestones For Pulsar Timing Array Gravitational Wave Detection

Nihan S. Pol, Stephen R. Taylor, Luke Zoltan Kelley +49

The NANOGrav Collaboration reported strong Bayesian evidence for a common-spectrum stochastic process in its 12.5-yr pulsar timing array dataset, with median characteristic strain…

A Study in Frequency-Dependent Effects on Precision Pulsar Timing Parameters with the Pulsar Signal Simulator

Brent J. Shapiro-Albert, Jeffrey S. Hazboun, Maura A. McLaughlin +1

In this paper we introduce a new Python package, the Pulsar Signal Simulator, or PsrSigSim, which is designed to simulate a pulsar signal from emission at the pulsar, through the i…

The NANOGrav 12.5-year Data Set: Search For An Isotropic Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background

Zaven Arzoumanian, Paul T. Baker, Harsha Blumer +58

We search for an isotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background (GWB) in the -year pulsar timing data set collected by the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravit…

Multi-Messenger Gravitational Wave Searches with Pulsar Timing Arrays: Application to 3C66B Using the NANOGrav 11-year Data Set

Zaven Arzoumanian, Paul T. Baker, Adam Brazier +56

When galaxies merge, the supermassive black holes in their centers may form binaries and, during the process of merger, emit low-frequency gravitational radiation in the process. I…

The NANOGrav 12.5-year Data Set: Wideband Timing of 47 Millisecond Pulsars

Md F. Alam, Zaven Arzoumanian, Paul T. Baker +67

We present a new analysis of the profile data from the 47 millisecond pulsars comprising the 12.5-year data set of the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves…
