An Introduction to Single-Antenna Radio Astronomical Polarimetry
Willem van Straten
This tutorial reviews the mathematical foundations of single-antenna radio polarimetry with the aim of fostering a conceptual understanding of the relationships between a physical…
The Parkes Pulsar Timing Array Project: Second data release
M. Kerr, D. J. Reardon, G. Hobbs +27
We describe 14 years of public data from the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array (PPTA), an ongoing project that is producing precise measurements of pulse times of arrival from 26 millisec…
Pulsar Searches with the SKA
L. Levin, W. Armour, C. Baffa +24
The Square Kilometre Array will be an amazing instrument for pulsar astronomy. While the full SKA will be sensitive enough to detect all pulsars in the Galaxy visible from Earth, a…
HIPSR: A Digital Signal Processor for the Parkes 21-cm Multibeam Receiver
D. C. Price, L. Staveley-Smith, M. Bailes +5
HIPSR (HI-Pulsar) is a digital signal processing system for the Parkes 21-cm Multibeam Receiver that provides larger instantaneous bandwidth, increased dynamic range, and more sign…
Wide-band Profile Domain Pulsar Timing Analysis
L. Lentati, M. Kerr, S. Dai +22
We extend profile domain pulsar timing to incorporate wide-band effects such as frequency-dependent profile evolution and broadband shape variation in the pulse profile. We also in…
The Statistics of Radio Astronomical Polarimetry: Disjoint, Superposed, and Composite Samples
Willem van Straten, Caterina Tiburzi
A statistical framework is presented for the study of the orthogonally polarized modes of radio pulsar emission via the covariances between the Stokes parameters. To accommodate th…
Versatile Directional Searches for Gravitational Waves with Pulsar Timing Arrays
D. R. Madison, X. -J. Zhu, G. Hobbs +23
By regularly monitoring the most stable millisecond pulsars over many years, pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) are positioned to detect and study correlations in the timing behaviour of…
Intrinsic Instrumental Polarization and High-Precision Pulsar Timing
Griffin Foster, Aris Karastergiou, Remi Paulin +3
Radio telescopes are used to accurately measure the time of arrival (ToA) of radio pulses in pulsar timing experiments that target mostly millisecond pulsars (MSPs) due to their hi…
SPINN: a straightforward machine learning solution to the pulsar candidate selection problem
V. Morello, E. D. Barr, M. Bailes +3
We describe SPINN (Straightforward Pulsar Identification using Neural Networks), a high-performance machine learning solution developed to process increasingly large data outputs f…
Detection of fast transients with radio interferometric arrays
N. D. R. Bhat, J. N. Chengalur, P. J. Cox +7
Next-generation radio arrays, including the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) and its pathfinders, will open up new avenues for exciting transient science at radio wavelengths. Their in…
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…
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…
Pulsar data analysis with PSRCHIVE
Willem van Straten, Paul Demorest, Stefan Osłowski
PSRCHIVE is an open-source, object-oriented, scientific data analysis software library and application suite for pulsar astronomy. It implements an extensive range of general-purpo…
The Parkes Observatory Pulsar Data Archive
G. Hobbs, D. Miller, R. N. Manchester +39
The Parkes pulsar data archive currently provides access to 144044 data files obtained from observations carried out at the Parkes observatory since the year 1991. Around 10^5 file…
Pulsars with the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder
I. H. Stairs, M. J. Keith, Z. Arzoumanian +33
The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) is a 36-element array with a 30-square-degree field of view being built at the proposed SKA site in Western Australia. We a…
DSPSR: Digital Signal Processing Software for Pulsar Astronomy
W. van Straten, M. Bailes
DSPSR is a high-performance, open-source, object-oriented, digital signal processing software library and application suite for use in radio pulsar astronomy. Written primarily in…
PSRCHIVE and PSRFITS: Definition of the Stokes Parameters and Instrumental Basis Conventions
W. van Straten, R. N. Manchester, S. Johnston +1
This paper defines the mathematical convention adopted to describe an electromagnetic wave and its polarisation state, as implemented in the PSRCHIVE software and represented in th…
