JUG: JAX-based Unified pulsar timinG

Matthew T. Miles, Stephen R. Taylor, Matthew Bailes +14

We present JUG (JAX-based Unified pulsar timinG), a JAX-based, fully independent pulsar timing package emphasising speed and ease of use, designed to confidently handle the increas…

The SKAO Pulsar Timing Array

Ryan M. Shannon, N. D. Ramesh Bhat, Aurélien Chalumeau +22

Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) are ensembles of millisecond pulsars observed for years to decades. The primary goal of PTAs is to study gravitational-wave astronomy at nanohertz frequ…

A transdimensional sampling framework for pulsar timing noise modelling

Valentina Di Marco, Nir Guttman, Matthew T. Miles +3

A careful characterisation of the noise processes in pulsar timing data is a prerequisite for pulsar timing array experiments. While single-pulsar noise analyses are crucial for bo…

Reducing instrumental errors in Parkes Pulsar Timing Array data

Axl F. Rogers, Willem van Straten, Sergei Gulyaev +10

This paper demonstrates the impact of state-of-the-art instrumental calibration techniques on the precision of arrival times obtained from 9.6 years of observations of millisecond…

A Fast Radio Burst monitor with a Compact All-Sky Phased Array (CASPA)

R. Luo, R. D. Ekers, G. Hobbs +9

Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are short-duration radio transients that occur at random times in host galaxies distributed all over the sky. Large field of view instruments can play a cr…

Toward robust detections of nanohertz gravitational waves

Valentina Di Marco, Andrew Zic, Matthew T. Miles +3

The recent observation of a common red-noise process in pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) suggests that the detection of nanohertz gravitational waves might be around the corner. However…

SPARKESX: Single-dish PARKES data sets for finding the uneXpected -- A data challenge

Suk Yee Yong, George Hobbs, Minh T. Huynh +6

New classes of astronomical objects are often discovered serendipitously. The enormous data volumes produced by recent high-time resolution, radio-telescope surveys imply that effi…

Simulating high-time resolution radio-telescope observations

Rui Luo, George Hobbs, Suk Yee Yong +10

We describe a new software package for simulating channelised, high-time resolution data streams from radio telescopes. The software simulates data from the telescope and observing…

A radio technosignature search towards Proxima Centauri resulting in a signal-of-interest

Shane Smith, Danny C Price, Sofia Z Sheikh +15

The detection of life beyond Earth is an ongoing scientific endeavour, with profound implications. One approach, known as the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), seeks…

Analysis of the Breakthrough Listen signal of interest blc1 with a technosignature verification framework

Sofia Z. Sheikh, Shane Smith, Danny C. Price +15

The aim of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is to find technologically-capable life beyond Earth through their technosignatures. On 2019 April 29, the Breakthrou…

A VOEvent based automatic trigger system for the Murchison Widefield Array

P. J. Hancock, G. E. Anderson, A. Williams +22

The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) is an electronically steered low frequency (\,MHz) radio interferometer, with a `slew' time less than 8seconds. Low frequency (\…
