The Australian, Chinese, European, Indian, and North American pulsar timing array (PTA) collaborations recently reported, at varying levels, evidence for the presence of a nanohert…
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…
The second data release from the European Pulsar Timing Array I. The dataset and timing analysis
