Details
Executive Summary : | The goal of this project is using millisecond pulsar observations carried out with uGMRT as part of Indian Pulsar timing array Consortium. The first project involves Single Noise analysis of Indian Pulsar timing array pulsars based on InPTA DR1. The second project involves the study of pulse jitter in InPTA pulsar sample. Both these projects will be done under the aegis of the Indian pulsar Timing Array consortium, which is an Indo-Japanese collaboration designed to detect nanoHz gravitational waves using pulsar timing. |
