Precision Millisecond Pulsar Timing

We will extend our high precision millisecond pulsar timing program by observing nine millisecond pulsars at six-week intervals over the upcoming year. Dual-frequency observations will use the ASP and WAPP data acquisition systems, improving on the precision of previous pulsar timing work. Scientific payoffs will include improved neutron star mass measurements, more precise pulsar distance measurements, and more stringent limits on (or detections of ) the gravitational wave background. In addition to regularly spaced observations, we request two extra days to explore the possibility of exploiting the newly available 800 MHz WAPP bandwidth capability to observe millisecond pulsars with the S-high and C-band receivers.
