Time-Correlated Profile Variability in the MeerKAT Pulsar Timing Array

Bhavnesh Bhat, Michael J. Keith, E. Carli +2

Long-term pulse-profile variability has emerged as a potentially important source of uncertainty for high-precision pulsar timing, as changes in the integrated pulse shape can bias…

The Thousand-Pulsar-Array programme on MeerKAT -- XVIII. Complex sub-pulse modulation patterns, bi-drifting and mode changing of nine radio pulsars

Haoyue Wang, Michael J. Keith, Patrick Weltevrede +4

We present a detailed analysis of sub-pulse modulations in nine pulsars which show evidence of changes in sub-pulse drift direction as a function of pulse longitude in the Thousand…

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…

The MeerKAT Pulsar Timing Array: The first search for gravitational waves with the MeerKAT radio telescope

Matthew T. Miles, Ryan M. Shannon, Daniel J. Reardon +22

Pulsar Timing Arrays search for nanohertz-frequency gravitational waves by regularly observing ensembles of millisecond pulsars over many years to look for correlated timing residu…

The Thousand-Pulsar-Array programme on MeerKAT XIV: On the high linearly polarized pulsar signals

Simon Johnston, Dipanjan Mitra, Michael Keith +2

The S-shaped swing of the linear polarization position angle (PPA) observed in many pulsars can be interpreted by the rotating vector model (RVM). However, efforts to fit the RVM f…

The Thousand-Pulsar-Array programme on MeerKAT -- XII. Discovery of long-term pulse profile evolution in 7 young pulsars

A. Basu, P. Weltevrede, M. J. Keith +6

A number of pulsars are known to have profile evolution on timescales of months, often correlated with spin-down rate changes. Here, we present the first result from 3 years of mon…
