... 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. ...
