Estimates of Fast Radio Burst Dispersion Measures from Cosmological Simulations

no code implementations18 Mar 2019 N. Pol, M. T. Lam, M. A. McLaughlin, T. J. W. Lazio, J. M. Cordes

This approach yields an integrated intergalactic DM of $\rm DM_{\rm IGM}(z = 1) = 940^{+8200}_{-200}$ pc cm$^{-3}$, with the large errors representative of the structure in the IGM.

Swiggum, S. J. Vigeland, W. W. Zhu

We detect significant jitter in 43 of the pulsars and test several functional forms for its frequency dependence; we find significant frequency dependence for 30 pulsars.

Optimizing Pulsar Timing Arrays Observations for Detection and Characterization of Low-Frequency Gravitational Wave Sources

no code implementations30 Aug 2018 M. T. Lam

We can improve the sensitivity of a pulsar timing array (PTA) to different gravitational-wave sources by observing pulsars with low timing noise over years to decades and distributed across the sky.

no code implementations21 Aug 2018 D. R. Madison, J. M. Cordes, Z. Arzoumanian, S. Chatterjee, K. Crowter, M. E. DeCesar, P. B. Demorest, T. Dolch, J. A. Ellis, R. D. Ferdman, E. C. Ferrara, E. Fonseca, P. A. Gentile, G. Jones, M. L. Jones, M. T. Lam, L. Levin, D. R. Lorimer, R. S. Lynch, M. A. McLaughlin, C. M. F. Mingarelli, C. Ng, D. J. Nice, T. T. Pennucci, S. M. Ransom, P. S. Ray, R. Spiewak, I. H. Stairs, K. Stovall, J. K. Swiggum, W. Zhu

We filter out long time scale DM fluctuations attributable to structure in the interstellar medium and carry out a simultaneous analysis of all pulsars in our sample that can differentiate the correlated signature of the wind from signals unique to individual lines of sight.

Optimal Frequency Ranges for Sub-Microsecond Precision Pulsar Timing

no code implementations6 Oct 2017 M. T. Lam, M. A. McLaughlin, J. M. Cordes, S. Chatterjee, T. J. W. Lazio

We also find that arrival-time precision can be improved by increases in total bandwidth.
