We are founding members of the International Pulsar Timing Array (@IPTA_GW, ipta4gw.org), a consortium of consortia, in which we collaborate to cross-check our results and make plans for future improvemens of our work.

@CSIRO_ATNF @ARC_OzGRav @NANOGrav These waves are expected to come from pairs of supermassive black holes found in the centres of merging galaxies. These results are a crucial milestone in opening a new, astrophysically-rich window in the gravitational wave spectrum.

We found evidence for ultra-low-frequency gravitational waves, with other collaborations @CSIRO_ATNF @ARC_OzGRav @NANOGRAV and CPTA independently reporting on similar results.

@EPTAGW, an international collaboration of European astronomers, together with Indian and Japanese colleagues from the Indian Pulsar Timing Array @InPTA_GW, have published the results of more than 25 years of observations from six of the World's most sensitive radio telescopes.

It is time! Read our full press announcement here: epta.eu.org/dissemination/…

We teamed up with @EPTAGW and combined our data with theirs for our latest venture! Keep an eye out on this space on 29th June as we coordinate the release of our exciting science results with @nanograv, @CSIRO_ATNF and @ARC_OzGRav and @CPTA

That is of course @InPTA_GW for the Indian Pulsar Timing Array account... oops

EPTA and InPTA are releasing their latest results on Thursday 29 June, in coordination with other PTAs around the world @InPta @ARC_OzGRav @CSIRO_ATNF @NANOGrav
