... 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. ...

... flspec computes the spectrum of the background fluctuations in EPIC Imaging data in different offaxis annular regions. ... Once the 'flatfielded' image is free from detected sources, its pixels are binned according to the input parameter binsize and classified as 'positive' (if they have more counts than the median in the image) and 'negative' pixels (less counts than the median). ... The positive and negative spectra are extracted with an spectral binning of 15 eV (MOS) and 5 eV (PN). ...
