Timing stability of millisecond pulsars and prospects for gravitational-wave detection

The analysis of high-precision timing observations of an array of ~20 millisecond pulsars (aso-called 'timing array') may ultimately result in the detection of a stochastic gravitational wave background. The feasibility of such a detection and the required duration of this type of experime...
