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 (…
Long Term Variability of a Black Widow's Eclipses -- A Decade of PSR J20510827
E. J. Polzin, R. P. Breton, B. W. Stappers +5
In this paper we report on years of observations of PSR J20510827, at radio frequencies in the range 110--4032 MHz. We investigate the eclipse phenomena of this black w…
Tests of Gravitational Symmetries with Pulsar Binary J1713+0747
W. W. Zhu, G. Desvignes, N. Wex +50
Symmetries play an important role in modern theories of gravity. The strong equivalence principle (SEP) constitutes a collection of gravitational symmetries which are all implement…
Limits on anisotropy in the nanohertz stochastic gravitational-wave background
S. R. Taylor, C. M. F. Mingarelli, J. R. Gair +32
The paucity of observed supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) may imply that the gravitational wave background (GWB) from this population is anisotropic, rendering existing ana…
European Pulsar Timing Array Limits On An Isotropic Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background
Lindley Lentati, Stephen R. Taylor, Chiara M. F. Mingarelli +33
We present new limits on an isotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background (GWB) using a six pulsar dataset spanning 18 yr of observations from the 2015 European Pulsar Timing…
The Binary Companion of Young, Relativistic Pulsar J1906+0746
Joeri van Leeuwen, Laura Kasian, Ingrid H. Stairs +13
PSR J1906+0746 is a young pulsar in the relativistic binary with the second-shortest known orbital period, of 3.98 hours. We here present a timing study based on five years of obse…
A state change in the low-mass X-ray binary XSS J12270-4859
C. G. Bassa, A. Patruno, J. W. T. Hessels +10
Millisecond radio pulsars acquire their rapid rotation rates through mass and angular momentum transfer in a low-mass X-ray binary system. Recent studies of PSR J1824-2452I and PSR…
A New Accretion Disk Around the Missing Link Binary System PSR J1023+0038
A. Patruno, A. M. Archibald, J. W. T. Hessels +7
PSR J1023+0038 is an exceptional system for understanding how slowly rotating neutron stars are spun up to millisecond rotational periods through accretion from a companion star. O…
The Second Fermi Large Area Telescope Catalog of Gamma-ray Pulsars
LAT collaboration
This catalog summarizes 117 high-confidence > 0.1 GeV gamma-ray pulsar detections using three years of data acquired by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi satellite. Half…
Pulsar searches of Fermi unassociated sources with the Effelsberg telescope
E. D. Barr, L. Guillemot, D. J. Champion +20
Using the 100-m Effelsberg radio telescope operating at 1.36 GHz, we have performed a targeted radio pulsar survey of 289 unassociated gamma-ray sources discovered by the Large Are…
The optimal schedule for pulsar timing array observations
K. J. Lee, C. G. Bassa, R. Karuppusamy +3
In order to maximize the sensitivity of pulsar timing arrays to a stochastic gravitational wave background, we present computational techniques to optimize observing schedules. The…
Placing limits on the stochastic gravitational-wave background using European Pulsar Timing Array data
R. van Haasteren, Y. Levin, G. H. Janssen +16
Direct detection of low-frequency gravitational waves ( Hz) is the main goal of pulsar timing array (PTA) projects. One of the main targets for the PTAs is to me…
The European Pulsar Timing Array: current efforts and a LEAP toward the future
Robert D. Ferdman, Rutger van Haasteren, Cees G. Bassa +22
The European Pulsar Timing Array (EPTA) is a multi-institutional, multi-telescope collaboration, with the goal of using high-precision pulsar timing to directly detect gravitationa…
Precision timing of PSR J1012+5307 and strong-field GR tests
Kosmas Lazaridis, Norbert Wex, Axel Jessner +10
We report on the high precision timing analysis of the pulsar-white dwarf binary PSR J1012+5307. Using 15 years of multi-telescope data from the European Pulsar Timing Array (EPTA)…
