MeerKAT is a science-eager 64-dish radio telescope in the heart of the South African Karoo. This world operates at maser-coordinated "Karoo Telescope Time" - a hyper precise time standard ideal for pulsar timing science as done by the Meertime project meertime.org

A year and a half on - and MeerKAT PTA results streaming in! In just 4.5 yrs of data we see evidence for the gravitational wave background. Well done team! And testament to a magnificent instrument. A perfect day to show off our new website too: africanpulsartiming.github.io/news.html

And there we have, the checkpoint marking the beginning of the era of nHz GW astronomy! A successful press conference with the members and PIs of @indian_pta presenting the emerging evidence of a SGWB in the combined EPTA+InPTA data sets! 🥂🎉

In this paper we compare several data versions; it turns out that the latest EPTA data from our new-generation observing systems show non-negligible evidence for a gravitational wave background being present in our data

#Astronomy activities can change perspectives and reframe one’s problems. Can they be designed to promote #mentalhealth? That is the question being explored by Dominic Vertue, Sandra Benitez, & others at the OAD. Article in the latest issue of CAP Journal capjournal.org/issues/32/32_2…

How it all fits together - a collection of pulsar array timing experiments called the International Pulsar Timing Array jointly searches for nanoHz Gravitational Waves! More details on the science at @IPTA_GW. And mark June 29th for the combined reporting of their new results!
International Pulsar Timing Array@IPTA_GW

The International Pulsar Timing Array (IPTA) is a consortium of consortia, comprised of the European PTA (EPTA), the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav), the Indian Pulsar Timing Array Project (InPTA), and the Parkes PTA (PPTA).
