Measurement and correction of variations in interstellar dispersion in high-precision pulsar timing

M. J. Keith, W. Coles, R. M. Shannon +16

Signals from radio pulsars show a wavelength-dependent delay due to dispersion in the interstellar plasma. At a typical observing wavelength, this delay can vary by tens of microse…

The Parkes Pulsar Timing Array Project

R. N. Manchester, G. Hobbs, M. Bailes +28

A "pulsar timing array" (PTA), in which observations of a large sample of pulsars spread across the celestial sphere are combined, allows investigation of "global" phenomena such a…

Does a 'stochastic' background of gravitational waves exist in the pulsar timing band?

V. Ravi, J. S. B. Wyithe, G. Hobbs +4

We investigate the effects of gravitational waves (GWs) from a simulated population of binary super-massive black holes (SMBHs) on pulsar timing array datasets. We construct a dist…

Development of a pulsar-based timescale

G. Hobbs, W. Coles, R. N. Manchester +21

Using observations of pulsars from the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array (PPTA) project we develop the first pulsar-based timescale that has a precision comparable to the uncertainties in…

Constraining the coalescence rate of supermassive black-hole binaries using pulsar timing

Z. L. Wen, F. A. Jenet, D. Yardley +2

Pulsar timing observations are used to place constraints on the rate of coalescence of supermassive black-hole (SMBH) binaries as a function of mass and redshift. In contrast to th…

Polarization observations of 20 millisecond pulsars

Wenming Yan, R. N. Manchester, Willem van Straten +14

Polarization profiles are presented for 20 millisecond pulsars that are being observed as part of the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array project. The observations used the Parkes multibeam…
