Gravitational-Wave Detection Using Pulsars: Status of the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array Project

Gravitational-Wave Detection Using Pulsars: Status of the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array Project

The first direct detection of gravitational waves may be made through observations of pulsars. The principal aim of pulsar timing-array projects being carried out worldwide is to detect ultra-low frequency gravitational waves (f ~10-9-10-8 Hz). Such waves are expected to be caused by coalescing supe...
