Research and Projects

A key science goal of Pulsar Timing Array research groups, like the APT, is to study a network, or an array, of radio pulsars and search for deviations in their expected pulse rates. Such deviations could reveal the presence of low frequency gravitational waves disturbing our modeling of their clockwork.

Beyond PTA-directed science, APT members are also involved in a range of other pulsar-related science projects with applications from Gravity to Cosmology. Find out more here!

Resources

We have created and archived resources for new researchers starting or for tutors to use as teaching materials.
