Generalized Nonlinear Bayesian Pulsar Timing with ENTERPRISE

Abstract We use the Bayesian methods in the ENTERPRISE package to examine the fully general parameterization of pulsar timing models in tandem with noise. We investigate four pulsars, PSRs J1600–3053, J2043+1711, J0740+6620, and J1640+2224, through the lens of Bayesian timing. We...

Detection of relativistic orbital deformation from improved timing of PSR J1757−1854

Abstract PSR J1757−1854, a 21.5 ms pulsar is a member of a highly relativistic double neutron star (DNS) system with a tight (4.4 hr), eccentric (e = 0.61) orbit. With extremely large gravitational wave luminosity and one of the fastest orbital decay rates of any known DNS system...
