Removal and replacement of interference in tied-array radio pulsar observations using the spectral kurtosis estimator
M. Purver, C. G. Bassa, I. Cognard +10
We describe how to implement the spectral kurtosis method of interference removal (zapping) on a digitized signal of averaged power values. Spectral kurtosis is a hypothesis test,…
The beamformer and correlator for the Large European Array for Pulsars
R. Smits, C. G. Bassa, G. H. Janssen +10
The Large European Array for Pulsars combines Europe's largest radio telescopes to form a tied-array telescope that provides high signal-to-noise observations of millisecond pulsar…
Pulsar observations with European telescopes for testing gravity and detecting gravitational waves
D. Perrodin, C. G. Bassa, G. H. Janssen +20
A background of nanohertz gravitational waves from supermassive black hole binaries could soon be detected by pulsar timing arrays, which measure the times-of-arrival of radio puls…
LEAP: the large European array for pulsars
C. G. Bassa, G. H. Janssen, R. Karuppusamy +9
The Large European Array for Pulsars (LEAP) is an experiment that harvests the collective power of Europe's largest radio telescopes in order to increase the sensitivity of high-pr…
The noise properties of 42 millisecond pulsars from the European Pulsar Timing Array and their impact on gravitational wave searches
R. N. Caballero, K. J. Lee, L. Lentati +36
The sensitivity of Pulsar Timing Arrays to gravitational waves depends on the noise present in the individual pulsar timing data. Noise may be either intrinsic or extrinsic to the…
