The SKAO Pulsar Timing Array

Ryan M. Shannon, N. D. Ramesh Bhat, Aurelien Chalumeau +23

Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) are ensembles of millisecond pulsars observed for years to decades. The primary goal of PTAs is to study gravitational-wave astronomy at nanohertz frequ…

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 (…

Optimising the MeerKAT Pulsar Timing Array and towards precision pulsar timing with SKA-mid

Pratyasha Gitika, Ryan M. Shannon, Matthew Bailes +4

Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) are Galactic-scale nanohertz-frequency gravitational wave (GW) detectors. Recently, several PTAs have found evidence for the presence of GWs in their da…

The MeerKAT Pulsar Timing Array: Maps of the gravitational-wave sky with the 4.5 year data release

Kathrin Grunthal, Rowina S. Nathan, Eric Thrane +16

In an accompanying publication, the MeerKAT Pulsar Timing Array (MPTA) collaboration reports tentative evidence for the presence of a stochastic gravitational-wave background, foll…

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 MeerKAT Pulsar Timing Array: The -year data release and the noise and stochastic signals of the millisecond pulsar population

Matthew T. Miles, Ryan M. Shannon, Daniel J. Reardon +21

Pulsar timing arrays are ensembles of regularly observed millisecond pulsars timed to high precision. Each pulsar in an array could be affected by a suite of noise processes, most…

Triple trouble with PSR J1618-3921: Mass measurements and orbital dynamics of an eccentric millisecond pulsar

K. Grunthal, V. Venkatraman Krishnan, P. C. C. Freire +11

PSR J1618-3921 is one of five known millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in eccentric orbits (eMPSs) located in the Galactic plane, whose formation is poorly understood. Earlier studies of t…

The MPIfR-MeerKAT Galactic Plane Survey II. The eccentric double neutron star system PSR J1208-5936 and a neutron star merger rate update

M. Colom i Bernadich, V. Balakrishnan, E. Barr +16

The MMGPS-L is the most sensitive pulsar survey in the Southern Hemisphere. We present a follow-up study of one of these new discoveries, PSR J1208-5936, a 28.71-ms recycled pulsar…

Comparing recent PTA results on the nanohertz stochastic gravitational wave background

The International Pulsar Timing Array Collaboration, G. Agazie, J. Antoniadis +242

The Australian, Chinese, European, Indian, and North American pulsar timing array (PTA) collaborations recently reported, at varying levels, evidence for the presence of a nanohert…

Revisiting the Galactic Double Neutron Star merger and LIGO detection rates

Kathrin Grunthal, Michael Kramer, Gregory Desvignes

We revisit the merger rate for Galactic double neutron star (DNS) systems in light of recent observational insight into the longitudinal and latitudinal beam shape of the relativis…
