Breakthrough Listen's Automated Commensal Technosignature Survey with MeerKAT

Daniel J. Czech, David H. E. MacMahon, Ian Heywood +20

The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is an ongoing effort to detect technosignatures, evidence of technologically capable life beyond Earth. Conducting a comprehensi…

A pulsar escaping an ancient open cluster via tidal stripping

Lei Zhang, Xiaoting Fu, Di Li +21

Open clusters are the primary birthplaces of stars in the Milky Way disk, yet their neutron star progeny are rarely found within them, presumably due to supernova-induced kicks tha…

Multiwavelength observations of a new black-widow millisecond pulsar PSR J1544-2555

Sergio Belmonte Diaz, Tinn Thongmeearkom, Adipol Phosrisom +20

We report the discovery of a new black-widow millisecond pulsar, PSR J1544-2555, associated with the Fermi-LAT source 4FGL J1544.2-2554. Optical, radio, and gamma-ray observations…

Localisation and host galaxy identification of new Fast Radio Bursts with MeerKAT

Inés Pastor-Marazuela, Alexa C. Gordon, Ben Stappers +18

Accurately localising fast radio bursts (FRBs) is essential for understanding their birth environments and for their use as cosmological probes. Recent advances in radio interferom…

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…

An Image-Based Search for Pulsar Candidates in the MeerKAT Bulge Survey

Dale A. Frail, Emil Polisensky, Scott D. Hyman +13

We report on the results of an image-based search for pulsar candidates toward the Galactic bulge. We used mosaic images from the MeerKAT radio telescope, that were taken as part o…

The Thousand-Pulsar-Array programme on MeerKAT XIII: Timing, flux density, rotation measure and dispersion measure timeseries of 597 pulsars

M. J. Keith, S. Johnston, A. Karastergiou +9

We report here on the timing of 597 pulsars over the last four years with the MeerKAT telescope. We provide Times-of-Arrival, pulsar ephemeris files and per-epoch measurements of t…

A pulsar in a binary with a compact object in the mass gap between neutron stars and black holes

Ewan D. Barr, Arunima Dutta, Paulo C. C. Freire +22

Among the compact objects observed in gravitational wave merger events a few have masses in the gap between the most massive neutron stars (NSs) and least massive black holes (BHs)…

MeerKAT Pulsar Timing Array parallaxes and proper motions

Mohsen Shamohammadi, Matthew Bailes, Christopher Flynn +10

We have determined positions, proper motions, and parallaxes of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) from years of MeerKAT radio telescope observations. Our timing and noise ana…

The MeerKAT Pulsar Timing Array: First Data Release

Matthew T. Miles, Ryan M. Shannon, Matthew Bailes +15

We present the first 2.5 years of data from the MeerKAT Pulsar Timing Array (MPTA), part of MeerTime, a MeerKAT Large Survey Project. The MPTA aims to precisely measure pulse arriv…

Mode changing in J19093744: the most precisely timed pulsar

Matthew T. Miles, Ryan M. Shannon, Matthew Bailes +4

We present baseband radio observations of the millisecond pulsar J19093744, the most precisely timed pulsar, using the MeerKAT telescope as part of the MeerTime pulsar timing ar…

The Thousand-Pulsar-Array programme on MeerKAT II: observing strategy for pulsar monitoring with subarrays

X. Song, P. Weltevrede, M. J. Keith +15

The Thousand Pulsar Array (TPA) project currently monitors about 500 pulsars with the sensitive MeerKAT radio telescope by using subarrays to observe multiple sources simultaneousl…
