1. Detecting Nanohertz Gravitational Waves by Searching for and Timing Millisecond Pulsars

Creator:: Nye, Brandon J.
Abstract:: Detecting gravitational waves is a topic at the forefront of physics. The first gravitational wave was detected by LIGO in 2015. This wave had a frequency in the 10s of Hz. This project is focused on detecting gravitational waves on the nanohertz spectrum using a pulsar timing array. This array...

2. Effect of Solar System Models on Pulsar Timing Experiments

Creator:: Nicolaysen, Cooper
Abstract:: Gravitational wave (GW) astronomy is a key ingredient in confirming Einstein’s theory of General Relativity and showing how the universe sends ripples through spacetime, distorting distances between two points. The confirmation of high-frequency GWs observed by The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in 2015 was a breakthrough in our understanding...
