Targeted search for eccentric supermassive binary black holes in OJ 287 and nearby galaxy clusters with PPTA DR3
Shi-Yi Zhao, Xingjiang Zhu, Jacob Cardinal Tremblay +19
We perform Bayesian targeted searches for continuous gravitational waves from eccentric supermassive binary black holes (SMBBHs) using the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array third data rel…
Optimising the MeerKAT Pulsar Timing Array and towards precision pulsar timing with SKA-mid
Pratyasha Gitika, Ryan M. Shannon, Matthew Bailes +4
Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) are Galactic-scale nanohertz-frequency gravitational wave (GW) detectors. Recently, several PTAs have found evidence for the presence of GWs in their da…
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…
