Timing and statistical analysis of single-pulse search pulsar discoveries from the PALFA survey
Graham M. Doskoch, Maura A. McLaughlin, B. Allen +23
Almost two decades after their discovery, pulsars discoverable only through their single, dispersed radio pulses, known as rotating radio transients (RRATS), remain a poorly-unders…
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…
Gravitational Wave Measurement of the - Intrinsic Scatter at High Redshift
Cayenne Matt, Kayhan Gültekin, Gabriella Agazie +109
The observed GWB spectrum is higher in amplitude than model predictions by a factor of 2-3. Using a semi-analytic model, we evaluate the effect of a high-scatter supermassive black…
The NANOGrav 15-Year Data Set: A Case Study for Simplified Dispersion Measure Modeling for PSR J1455-3330 and the Impact on Gravitational Wave Sensitivity
Michael T. Lam, David L. Kaplan, Gabriella Agazie +46
Evidence for a low-frequency gravitational-wave background using pulsar timing arrays has generated recent interest into its underlying contributing sources. However, multiple inve…
The NANOGrav 15 yr and 20 yr Datasets: Timing Events and Pulse Shape Changes
Ben Jacobson-Bell, James M. Cordes, Shami Chatterjee +61
The average pulse shape of a pulsar is typically stable over decadal timescales, enabling estimation of pulse times of arrival to better than a small fraction of the pulse width us…
CHIME-o-Grav: Wideband Timing of Four Millisecond Pulsars from the NANOGrav 15-yr dataset
Gabriella Agazie, David L. Kaplan, Abhimanyu Susobhanan +50
Wideband timing of the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) datasets, where a single time-of-arrival (TOA) and a single dispersion measure (DM) a…
