Optimal robust detection statistics for pulsar timing arrays
Rutger van Haasteren, Bruce Allen, Joseph D. Romano
Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) seek to detect a nano-Hz stochastic gravitational-wave background (GWB) by searching for the characteristic Hellings and Downs angular pattern of timing…
Regularizing the Pulsar Timing Array likelihood: A path towards Fourier Space
Serena Valtolina, Rutger van Haasteren
The recent announcement of evidence for a stochastic background of gravitational waves (GWB) in pulsar timing array (PTA) data has piqued interest across the scientific community.…
PINT: A Modern Software Package for Pulsar Timing
Jing Luo, Scott Ransom, Paul Demorest +13
Over the past few decades, the measurement precision of some pulsar-timing experiments has advanced from ~10 us to ~10 ns, revealing many subtle phenomena. Such high precision dema…
A pulsar-based timescale from the International Pulsar Timing Array
G. Hobbs, L. Guo, R. N. Caballero +56
We have constructed a new timescale, TT(IPTA16), based on observations of radio pulsars presented in the first data release from the International Pulsar Timing Array (IPTA). We us…
The International Pulsar Timing Array: First Data Release
J. P. W. Verbiest, L. Lentati, G. Hobbs +89
The highly stable spin of neutron stars can be exploited for a variety of (astro-)physical investigations. In particular arrays of pulsars with rotational periods of the order of m…
Analysis of the first IPTA Mock Data Challenge by the EPTA timing data analysis working group
Rutger van Haasteren, Chiara M. F. Mingarelli, Alberto Vecchio +1
This is a summary of the methods we used to analyse the first IPTA Mock Data Challenge (MDC), and the obtained results. We have used a Bayesian analysis in the time domain, acceler…
