Interplanetary scintillation-informed heliospheric modelling for the MeerKAT Pulsar Timing Array 4.5 yr dataset
Saurav Mishra, Daniel J. Reardon, Andrew Zic +9
Heliospheric density variations impart delays on pulse times of arrivals from millisecond pulsars. Improper modelling of these variations may affect gravitational wave detection an…
A joint MeerKAT and Parkes view of Omega Centauri: New TRAPUM Searches and Pulsar Timing
Miquel Colom i Bernadich, Shi Dai, Federico Abbate +27
Millisecond pulsars (MSPs) are powerful probes of globular clusters (GCs), tracing stellar evolution, cluster dynamics, and the local gravitational potential. We investigate the MS…
Optimising gravitational-wave sky maps for pulsar timing arrays
Kathrin Grunthal, David J. Champion, Eric Thrane +3
Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) have recently reported compelling evidence for the presence of a gravitational-wave background signal. Mapping the gravitational-wave background is key…
The role of distant pulsars in the detectability of continuous gravitational waves
Kathrin Grunthal, Nataliya Porayko, David J. Champion +1
One of the imminent science goals of pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) is the detection of a continuous gravitational wave (CGW) emitted by an individual supermassive black hole binary (…
A simple optimisation for the MeerKAT Pulsar Timing Array
Hannah Middleton, Ryan M. Shannon, Matthew Bailes +9
The goal of the MeerKAT radio telescope's pulsar timing array programme (MPTA) is the detection of gravitational waves (GWs) of nanohertz frequencies. Evidence for such a signal wa…
Bow Shock and Local Bubble Plasma Unveiled by the Scintillating Millisecond Pulsar J04374715
Daniel J. Reardon, Robert Main, Stella Koch Ocker +10
The ionized interstellar medium contains au-scale (and below) structures that scatter radio waves from pulsars, resulting in scintillation. Power spectral analysis of scintillation…
