Optimising gravitational-wave sky maps for pulsar timing arrays
Kathrin Grunthal, David J. Champion, Eric Thrane +3
Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) have recently reported compelling evidence for the presence of a gravitational-wave background signal. Mapping the gravitational-wave background is key…
Transdimensional inference for gravitational-wave astronomy with Bilby
Hui Tong, Nir Guttman, Teagan A. Clarke +8
It has become increasingly useful to answer questions in gravitational-wave astronomy using transdimensional models where the number of free parameters can be varied depending on t…
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…
