Pulsar timing leverages observations of ultra-stable cosmic clocks known as pulsars to probe fundamental physics, from tests of alternate theories of gravity to constraints of extreme nuclear physics ...
Combined, the pulsar observations construct a Galaxy-sized gravitational wave detector – spanning from the Earth to 25 carefully chosen pulsars across the Galaxy. This makes it possible to study ...
Recent studies have made significant strides in detecting gravitational waves, particularly through pulsar timing arrays. For instance, the NANOGrav collaboration has reported evidence for a ...
Scientists using the MeerKAT Pulsar Timing Array have made a groundbreaking discovery, confirming the presence of a gravitational wave background in the universe. This unexpected phenomenon ...
Michael Lam is an astronomer with a broad background in radio astronomy, pulsar timing, gravitational wave science, and astronomical pipeline and cyber-infrastructure development. He completed his BA ...
