GeezerVison is showing mpta-gw.github.io — MPTA  The MeerKAT Pulsar Timing ArrayProject DescriptionThe MeerKAT Pulsar Timing Array (MPTA) collaboration undertakes high-precision observations of millisecond pulsars with the MeerKAT radio telescope. The primary goals of the Array, in operation since 2019, are the detection of nanohertz-frequency gravitational radiation and study of the nanohertz-frequency gravitational-wave sky. The MPTA commenced under the auspices of the MEERTIME large survey project. Learn moreScienceThe MPTA is sensitive to gravitational waves with wavelengths more than a billion times longer than those of terrestrial gravitational wave detectors such as LIGO or VIRGO. It searches for the background ensemble of all these nanohertz-frequency gravitational waves, maps the variations in the brightness of the background across the sky, and searches for individual sources of gravitational waves. While the primary goal of the MPTA is to study gravitational waves, the MPTA makes foundational contribution to other aspects of fundamental physics and astronomy. Learn moreData SetsThe MPTA data release include pulse arrival time measurements, and the pulse profiles from which they were derived.
