The NANOGrav 12.5-Year Data Set: Dispersion Measure Mis-Estimation with Varying Bandwidths

Sofia Valentina Sosa Fiscella, Michael T. Lam, Zaven Arzoumanian +28

Noise characterization for pulsar-timing applications accounts for interstellar dispersion by assuming a known frequency-dependence of the delay it introduces in the times of arriv…
