Mining the time axis with TRON - III. Discovery of a nulling pulsar towards the SMC with MeerKAT

T. Blecher, M. Geyer, O. M. Smirnov +21

We report on the discovery of a nulling pulsar, PSR J00527551, in archival MeerKAT L-band observations of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The discovery was made using the imag…

Testing Gravity with Binary Pulsars in the SKA Era

V. Venkatraman Krishnan, L. Shao, V. Balakrishnan +21

Binary (and trinary) radio pulsars are natural laboratories in space for understanding gravity in the strong field regime, with many unique and precise tests carried out so far, in…

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…

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…

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…

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…
