Discovery of 51 pulsars in a reanalysis of the Green Bank North Celestial Cap Survey and a revised pulsar census
R. Sengar, L. Vleeschower, D. L. Kaplan +13
We present results from a reanalysis of the Green Bank North Celestial Cap (GBNCC) survey, conducted at 350 MHz with the Green Bank Telescope between 2009 and 2020, covering the sk…
Radio and Gamma-Ray Timing of a Newly Discovered Millisecond Pulsar
L. Vleeschower, R. Sengar, L. Nieder +17
We report the discovery and timing of PSR J2147-3604, a fully recycled millisecond pulsar with a spin period of 3.2 ms, discovered in a reprocessing of the 350-MHz Green Bank North…
The NANOGrav 15 yr Dataset: Modified Functional Forms for Profile-Evolution Time Delays in Pulsar Timing Models
Sofia V. Sosa Fiscella, Michael T. Lam, Olivia West +49
Radio pulsars exhibit frequency-dependent variations in the shape of their pulse profiles that introduce systematic delays in the observed pulse times of arrival (TOA) across an ob…
Optimal Pulsar Timing Array Strategies with the Deep Synoptic Array
Tyler Cohen, Paul B. Demorest, Jeremy G. Baier +50
Pulsar timing array (PTA) experiments have seen evidence for a nanohertz-frequency gravitational wave background (GWB) through coordinated radio timing observations of millisecond…
Constraints on Supermassive Black Hole Binaries from the Lack of Resolvable Sources in the NANOGrav 15-yr Dataset
Emiko C. Gardiner, Kayhan Gültekin, Philippe Turgeon +116
Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) have found evidence of a gravitational wave background (GWB) consistent with a population of supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs), but have not yet…
Pulsar Timing Array Sensitivity to Anisotropy: Empirical Sensitivity Curves, Scaling Relations, and the Multi-Resolution Pixel Basis

The North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) achieves sub-microsecond timing precision for several millisecond pulsars in its pulsar timing array (PT…
Evaluating the Fourier Approximation in Pulsar Timing Array Analysis
Yongqi Zhang, Hayden Scholz, Ken D. Olum +53
Pulsar timing arrays search for stochastic processes such as gravitational waves by comparing pulse time of arrival data for millisecond pulsars to expectations from a background w…
The NANOGrav 15 yr Data Set: Customized Chromatic Noise Models
Bjorn Larsen, Jeremy G. Baier, Daniel J. Oliver +53
Pulsar timing arrays conduct low-frequency gravitational wave searches, which require comprehensive accounting of various noise sources to achieve robust results. Interstellar prop…
