Breakthrough Listen's Automated Commensal Technosignature Survey with MeerKAT

Daniel J. Czech, David H. E. MacMahon, Ian Heywood +20

The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is an ongoing effort to detect technosignatures, evidence of technologically capable life beyond Earth. Conducting a comprehensi…

A pulsar escaping an ancient open cluster via tidal stripping

Lei Zhang, Xiaoting Fu, Di Li +21

Open clusters are the primary birthplaces of stars in the Milky Way disk, yet their neutron star progeny are rarely found within them, presumably due to supernova-induced kicks tha…

Localisation and host galaxy identification of new Fast Radio Bursts with MeerKAT

Inés Pastor-Marazuela, Alexa C. Gordon, Ben Stappers +18

Accurately localising fast radio bursts (FRBs) is essential for understanding their birth environments and for their use as cosmological probes. Recent advances in radio interferom…

Multiwavelength observations of a new black-widow millisecond pulsar PSR J1544-2555

Sergio Belmonte Diaz, Tinn Thongmeearkom, Adipol Phosrisom +20

We report the discovery of a new black-widow millisecond pulsar, PSR J1544-2555, associated with the Fermi-LAT source 4FGL J1544.2-2554. Optical, radio, and gamma-ray observations…

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…
