Precision Millisecond Pulsar TIming

We will extend our high precision millisecond pulsar timing program by observing nine millisecond pulsars at monthly intervals over a p erio d of two years. Dual-frequency observations will use the ASP and WAPP data acquisition systems, improving on the precision of previous pulsar timing work. Scientific payoffs will include improved neutron star mass measurements, more precise pulsar distance measurements, and more stringent limits on (or detections of ) the gravitational wave background.
