... PPTA timeline . ... List of projects . ... RedGW . ... One of the main goals of pulsar timing array projects is to limit the existence of a background of gravitational waves (GWs). Jenet et al. (2006) developed a method to determine such a limit if (and only if) the pulsar timing residuals were statistically white. In the paper we used data from six pulsars from the PPTA project to obtain a limit. The remaining pulsars were rejected because their timing residuals were not white. ...

... The standard science quicklook processing produces over a dozen sky maps at each downlink, and these maps are automatically searched for potential transient point sources. ... We have found that a heuristic modification of a formula derived by Li & Ma (1983) provides reasonably accurate estimates of p -values for point source detections even for very low p -value detections. ... Case 1u. The most straightforward approach uses the signal , where . ... To get a p -value, use . ...

... Let us assume to begin with that there is no source at a given location, only background. Let us calculate the probability that the observed counts at that location are due solely to background. ... The routines described in the present section are designed to take as arguments the probability cutoff (actually a cutoff in likelihood is used) and the background, or expectation value for the counts, and use them to calculate the minimum value of source counts which is detectable at those levels. ...

... One of the most widely used tools of Fourier analysis is the Parseval theorem. It enables the experimentalist to view how the `energy' in the signal is distributed among frequencies. The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithms have made power spectra one of the obvious diagnostics tools during data acquisition, and energy maps are a versatile alternative. ... The result is an energy map (Fig. 9), showing the distribution of energy corresponding to the wavelet map (Fig. ...

... Chapter 14. ... Data consist of numbers, of course. ... In the following sections, you will repeatedly encounter the following paradigm: § apply some formula to the data to compute a statistic § compute where the value of that statistic falls in a probability distribution that is computed on the basis of some null hypothesis § if it falls in a very unlikely spot, way out on a tail of the distribution , conclude that the null hypothesis is false for your ... 603 604 Chapter 14. ...

The Redshift Distribution of Flat-Spectrum Radio Sources at Low Flux-Densities J.P. McKean et al. ... The relative size and completeness of CLASS coupled with its stringent search criteria make it ideal for performing a lens statis- tics analysis. ... These results, as well as forming a vital part of the CLASS lens statistics analysis, will also contribute to our understanding of the at-spectrum radio source population at low ux-densities.. ...

The velocity and mass distribution of clusters of galaxies from the CNOC1 cluster redshift survey . ... The resulting sample is ideally suited for an analysis of the internal velocity and mass distribution of clusters. Previous analyses of this dataset used the Jeans equation to model the projected velocity dispersion profile. However, the results of such an analysis always yield a strong degeneracy between the mass density profile and the velocity dispersion anisotropy profile. ...
