TL;DR: The detection of four nonrepeating radio transient events with millisecond duration in data from the 64-meter Parkes radio telescope in Australia indicates that these radio bursts had their origin outside the authors' galaxy, but it is not possible to tell what caused them.
Journal ArticleDOI
PSRCHIVE and PSRFITS: An Open Approach to Radio Pulsar Data Storage and Analysis
TL;DR: A new set of software applications and libraries for use in the archival and analysis of pulsar astronomical data is introduced, developed in parallel with a new data storage format called psrfits, which is based on the Flexible Image Transport System (FITS).

TL;DR: The International Pulsar Timing Array (IPTA) project as mentioned in this paper combines observations of pulsars from both northern and southern hemisphere observatories with the main aim of detecting ultra-low frequency (similar to 10(-9)-10(-8) Hz) gravitational waves.
Journal ArticleDOI
FRBCAT: The Fast Radio Burst Catalogue
Emily Petroff,Ewan Barr,Andrew Jameson,Evan Keane,Matthew Bailes,Michael Kramer,Vincent Morello,D. Tabbara,W. van Straten +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a catalogue of known Fast Radio Burst sources in the form of an online catalogue, FRBCAT, which includes information about the instrumentation used for the observations for each detected burst, the measured quantities from each observation, and model-dependent quantities derived from observed quantities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gravitational waves from binary supermassive black holes missing in pulsar observations

TL;DR: It is concluded that binary evolution is either stalled or dramatically accelerated by galactic-center environments and that higher-cadence and shorter-wavelength observations would be more sensitive to gravitational waves.
