Nanohertz Gravitational-Wave Constraints on Supermassive Binary Black Holes at Cosmic Dawn

Yiqin Chen, Shi-Yi Zhao, Xingjiang Zhu +16

Standard continuous gravitational-wave searches with pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) neglect cosmological redshift, restricting their applicability to the local Universe. We introduce…

From Detection to Host Galaxy Identification: Precision Continuous Gravitational Wave Localization with a Few Anchor Pulsars

Chao-Fan Wen, Yi-Qin Chen, Shi-Yi Zhao +2

Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) are rapidly advancing toward the detection of continuous gravitational waves from individual supermassive binary black holes. While it is well establish…

The Stack Search Tests on FAST Data: Discovery of Six Faint Isolated Millisecond Pulsars in NGC 6517 and NGC 7078 (M15)

Yinfeng Dai, Xing-Jiang Zhu, Zhichen Pan +16

We report the discovery of six faint millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in the globular clusters NGC 6517 and NGC 7078 (M15) using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope…

Hierarchical Test of Lorentz Invariance with Gamma-Ray Burst Spectral-Lag Measurements

Shen-Shi Du, Yi Gong, Jun-Jie Wei +4

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are among the most potent probes of Lorentz invariance violation (LIV), offering direct constraints on the quantum gravity energy scale () based…

A Census of Pulsars in Possible Association with Galactic Open Clusters

Lu Zhou, Zhi-Qiang You, Lu Li +3

Among the known pulsars in our Galaxy, are found in globular clusters, but none has been confirmed in any open clusters yet, although they outnumber glo…

A Multimessenger Search for the Supermassive Black Hole Binary in 3C 66B with the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array

Jacob Cardinal Tremblay, Boris Goncharov, Rutger van Haasteren +15

A subparsec supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) at the center of the galaxy 3C 66B is a promising candidate for continuous gravitational-wave searches with pulsar timing arrays…

Searching for gravitational-wave bursts from cosmic string cusps with the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array third data release

Yong Xia, Jingbo Wang, Sachiko Kuroyanagi +13

Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) are designed to detect nanohertz-frequency gravitational waves (GWs). Since GWs are anticipated from cosmic strings, PTAs offer a viable approach to tes…

PSR J1922+37: a 1.9-second pulsar discovered in the direction of the old open cluster NGC 6791

Xiao-Jin Liu, Rahul Sengar, Matthew Bailes +8

More than 300 pulsars have been discovered in Galactic globular clusters; however, none have been found in open clusters. Here we present results from 20-hour pulsar searching obse…

On the initial spin period distribution of neutron stars

Shen-Shi Du, Xiao-Jin Liu, Zu-Cheng Chen +3

We derive the initial spin period distribution of neutron stars by studying the population of young pulsars associated with supernova remnants. Our hierarchical Bayesian approach a…

On the spin period distribution of millisecond pulsars

Xiao-Jin Liu, Zhi-Qiang You, Zu-Cheng Chen +3

Spin period distribution provides important clues to understand the formation of millisecond pulsars (MSPs). To uncover the intrinsic period distribution, we analyze three samples…
