Improving pulsar timing precision through superior Time-of-Arrival creation
J. Wang, J. P. W. Verbiest, G. M. Shaifullah +6
The measurement of pulsar pulse times-of-arrival (ToAs) is a crucial step in detecting low-frequency gravitational waves. To determine ToAs, we can use template-matching to compare…
A comparative analysis of pulse time-of-arrival creation methods
J. Wang, G. M. Shaifullah, J. P. W. Verbiest +15
Extracting precise pulse times of arrival (TOAs) and their uncertainties is the first and most fundamental step in high-precision pulsar timing. In the classical method, TOAs are d…
Removal and replacement of interference in tied-array radio pulsar observations using the spectral kurtosis estimator
M. Purver, C. G. Bassa, I. Cognard +10
We describe how to implement the spectral kurtosis method of interference removal (zapping) on a digitized signal of averaged power values. Spectral kurtosis is a hypothesis test,…
Fermi Large Area Telescope Performance After 10 Years Of Operation
The Fermi LAT Collaboration, M. Ajello, W. B. Atwood +126
The Large Area Telescope (LAT), the primary instrument for the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (Fermi) mission, is an imaging, wide field-of-view, high-energy gamma-ray telescope,…
Pulsars with NenuFAR: backend and pipelines
L. Bondonneau, J. -M. Grießmeier, G. Theureau +27
NenuFAR (New extension in Nançay upgrading LoFAR) is a new radio telescope developed and built on the site of the Nançay Radio Observatory. It is designed to observe the largely un…
The MeerKAT Telescope as a Pulsar Facility: System verification and early science results from MeerTime
M. Bailes, A. Jameson, F. Abbate +72
We describe system verification tests and early science results from the pulsar processor (PTUSE) developed for the newly-commissioned 64-dish SARAO MeerKAT radio telescope in Sout…
