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…

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…

Tackling artefacts in the timing of relativistic pulsar binaries: towards the SKA

Huanchen Hu, Nataliya K. Porayko, Willem van Straten +3

Common signal-processing approximations produce artefacts when timing pulsars in relativistic binary systems, especially edge-on systems with tight orbits, such as the Double Pulsa…

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…
