Pulsar Timing Array Sensitivity to Anisotropy: Empirical Sensitivity Curves, Scaling Relations, and the Multi-Resolution Pixel Basis
Taha T. Moursy, Nihan S. Pol, Gabriella Agazie +115
We quantify pulsar timing array (PTA) sensitivity to anisotropy in the gravitational wave background using the cross-correlation based Fisher information matrix in the pixel and sp…
The NANOGrav 12.5-year Data Set: Chromatic Noise Characterization & Mitigation with Time-Domain Kernels
Jeffrey S. Hazboun, Joseph Simon, Jeremy Baier +64
Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) have recently entered the detection era, quickly moving beyond the goal of simply improving sensitivity at the lowest frequencies for the sake of observ…
PINT: Maximum-likelihood estimation of pulsar timing noise parameters
Abhimanyu Susobhanan, David Kaplan, Anne Archibald +21
PINT is a pure-Python framework for high-precision pulsar timing developed on top of widely used and well-tested Python libraries, supporting both interactive and programmatic data…
A pulsar-based timescale from the International Pulsar Timing Array
G. Hobbs, L. Guo, R. N. Caballero +56
We have constructed a new timescale, TT(IPTA16), based on observations of radio pulsars presented in the first data release from the International Pulsar Timing Array (IPTA). We us…
NANOGrav Education and Outreach: Growing a Diverse and Inclusive Collaboration for Low-Frequency Gravitational Wave Astronomy
The NANOGrav Collaboration, P. T. Baker, H. Blumer +25
The new field of gravitational wave astrophysics requires a growing pool of students and researchers with unique, interdisciplinary skill sets. It also offers an opportunity to bui…
On-the-Fly Mapping of New Pulsars
Joseph K. Swiggum, Peter A. Gentile
Current single dish, low-frequency radio pulsar surveys provide efficient sky coverage, but poor localization of new discoveries. Here, we describe a practical technique for rapidl…
A Gaussian Mixture Model for Nulling Pulsars
David L. Kaplan, Joseph K. Swiggum, Travis D. J. Fichtenbauer +1
The phenomenon of pulsar nulling -- where pulsars occasionally turn off for one or more pulses -- provides insight into pulsar-emission mechanisms and the processes by which pulsar…
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…
The NANOGrav Nine-year Data Set: Observations, Arrival Time Measurements, and Analysis of 37 Millisecond Pulsars
Z. Arzoumanian, A. Brazier, S. Burke-Spolaor +41
We present high-precision timing observations spanning up to nine years for 37 millisecond pulsars monitored with the Green Bank and Arecibo radio telescopes as part of the North A…
PsrPopPy: An open-source package for pulsar population simulations
Sam Bates, Duncan Lorimer, Akshaya Rane +1
We have produced a new software package for the simulation of pulsar populations, \textsc{PsrPopPy}, based on the \textsc{Psrpop} package. The codebase has been re-written in Pytho…
