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 disturbance of a millisecond pulsar magnetosphere

R. M. Shannon, L. T. Lentati, M. Kerr +21

Pulsar timing has enabled some of the strongest tests of fundamental physics. Central to the technique is the assumption that the detected radio pulses can be used to accurately me…

Contamination of the Epoch of Reionization power spectrum in the presence of foregrounds

Peter H. Sims, Lindley Lentati, Paul Alexander +1

We construct foreground simulations comprising spatially correlated extragalactic and diffuse Galactic emission components and calculate the `intrinsic' (instrument-free) two-dimen…

A glitch in the millisecond pulsar J0613-0200

J. W. McKee, G. H. Janssen, B. W. Stappers +17

We present evidence for a small glitch in the spin evolution of the millisecond pulsar J06130200, using the EPTA Data Release 1.0, combined with Jodrell Bank analogue filterbank…

All correlations must die: Assessing the significance of a stochastic gravitational-wave background in pulsar-timing arrays

S. R. Taylor, L. Lentati, S. Babak +4

We present two methods for determining the significance of a stochastic gravitational-wave (GW) background affecting a pulsar-timing array, where detection is based on evidence for…

Proper motions of 15 pulsars: a comparison between Bayesian and frequentist algorithms

L. Li, N. Wang, J. P. Yuan +4

We present proper motions for 15 pulsars which are observed regularly by the Nanshan 25-m radio telescope. Two methods, the frequentist method (Coles et al.2011) and the Bayesian (…

Characterising the rotational irregularities of the Vela pulsar from 21 yr of phase-coherent timing

R. M. Shannon, L. T. Lentati, M. Kerr +3

Pulsars show two classes of rotational irregularities that can be used to understand neutron-star interiors and magnetospheres: glitches and timing noise. Here we present an analys…

A millisecond pulsar in an extremely wide binary system

C. G. Bassa, G. H. Janssen, B. W. Stappers +30

We report on 22 yrs of radio timing observations of the millisecond pulsar J10240719 by the telescopes participating in the European Pulsar Timing Array (EPTA). These observatio…

From Spin Noise to Systematics: Stochastic Processes in the First International Pulsar Timing Array Data Release

L. Lentati, R. M. Shannon, W. A. Coles +80

We analyse the stochastic properties of the 49 pulsars that comprise the first International Pulsar Timing Array (IPTA) data release. We use Bayesian methodology, performing model…

The International Pulsar Timing Array: First Data Release

J. P. W. Verbiest, L. Lentati, G. Hobbs +89

The highly stable spin of neutron stars can be exploited for a variety of (astro-)physical investigations. In particular arrays of pulsars with rotational periods of the order of m…
