The NANOGrav 12.5-Year Data Set: Monitoring Interstellar Scattering Delays

Jacob E. Turner, Maura A. McLaughlin, James M. Cordes +33

We extract interstellar scintillation parameters for pulsars observed by the NANOGrav radio pulsar timing program. Dynamic spectra for the observing epochs of each pulsar were used…

Astrophysics Milestones For Pulsar Timing Array Gravitational Wave Detection

Nihan S. Pol, Stephen R. Taylor, Luke Zoltan Kelley +49

The NANOGrav Collaboration reported strong Bayesian evidence for a common-spectrum stochastic process in its 12.5-yr pulsar timing array dataset, with median characteristic strain…

A Study in Frequency-Dependent Effects on Precision Pulsar Timing Parameters with the Pulsar Signal Simulator

Brent J. Shapiro-Albert, Jeffrey S. Hazboun, Maura A. McLaughlin +1

In this paper we introduce a new Python package, the Pulsar Signal Simulator, or PsrSigSim, which is designed to simulate a pulsar signal from emission at the pulsar, through the i…

A measurement of the Galactic plane mass density from binary pulsar accelerations

Sukanya Chakrabarti, Philip Chang, Michael T. Lam +2

We use compiled high-precision pulsar timing measurements to directly measure the Galactic acceleration of binary pulsars relative to the Solar System barycenter. Given the vertica…

The NANOGrav 12.5-year Data Set: Search For An Isotropic Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background

Zaven Arzoumanian, Paul T. Baker, Harsha Blumer +58

We search for an isotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background (GWB) in the -year pulsar timing data set collected by the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravit…
