Measurement and correction of variations in interstellar dispersion in high-precision pulsar timing

M. J. Keith, W. Coles, R. M. Shannon +16

Signals from radio pulsars show a wavelength-dependent delay due to dispersion in the interstellar plasma. At a typical observing wavelength, this delay can vary by tens of microse…

The Parkes Pulsar Timing Array Project

R. N. Manchester, G. Hobbs, M. Bailes +28

A "pulsar timing array" (PTA), in which observations of a large sample of pulsars spread across the celestial sphere are combined, allows investigation of "global" phenomena such a…

Development of a pulsar-based timescale

G. Hobbs, W. Coles, R. N. Manchester +21

Using observations of pulsars from the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array (PPTA) project we develop the first pulsar-based timescale that has a precision comparable to the uncertainties in…

Rotation measure variations for 20 millisecond pulsars

Wenming Yan, R. N. Manchester, Willem van Straten +14

We report on variations in the mean position angle of the 20 millisecond pulsars being observed as part of the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array (PPTA) project. It is found that the obser…

Polarization observations of 20 millisecond pulsars

Wenming Yan, R. N. Manchester, Willem van Straten +14

Polarization profiles are presented for 20 millisecond pulsars that are being observed as part of the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array project. The observations used the Parkes multibeam…

On detection of the stochastic gravitational-wave background using the Parkes pulsar timing array

D. R. B. Yardley, W. A. Coles, G. B. Hobbs +12

We search for the signature of an isotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background in pulsar timing observations using a frequency-domain correlation technique. These observation…
