The SKAO Pulsar Timing Array
Ryan M. Shannon, N. D. Ramesh Bhat, Aurélien Chalumeau +22
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…

Scintillating insights into PSR~J07373039A and the interstellar plasma of the Gum Nebula from MeerKAT
J. Askew, D. J. Reardon, R. M. Shannon +8
The double pulsar system PSR~J07373039A/B has enabled some of the most precise tests of strong-field gravity to date. Here, we present a scintillation analysis of the system bas…
Combining the second data release of the European Pulsar Timing Array with low-frequency pulsar data
F. Iraci, A. Chalumeau, C. Tiburzi +46
Low-frequency radio data improve the sensitivity of pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) to propagation effects such as dispersion measure (DM) variations, enabling better noise characteriz…
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…
