We see early signs of a Gravitational Wave background in our combined dataset with European Pulsar Timing Array. These results corroborate with those from NANOGrav PFC and PPTA CSIRO_ATNF OzGrav Read along in this thread to know this discovery was made and it's consequences!

Our second paper combines efforts of European Pulsar Timing Array with the @INPTA_GW and describes a new method to select the preferred set of noise models for every pulsar in our data set. This enables a robust characterisation of single-pulsar noise, which is extremely important for paper 3!

Check out this thread by the InPTA colleagues! A lot of info graphics on pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) and the possible sources of the gravitational-wave background these PTAs are now reporting first evidence for.

🔔IceCube results to be published in Science Magazine tomorrow! For the first time, IceCube found evidence of high-energy neutrino emission from our galaxy ➡️ bit.ly/3JBfqYa 📸: IceCube/NSF (Lily Le & Shawn Johnson)/ESO (S. Brunier) #OurGalaxyInNeutrinos

Thanks LIGO India 👍 Foreseeing prospects of our nation to become a global leader in GW astronomy with the combined powers of InPTA & LIGO-India. What a dynamic range can we cover together! #InPTA #LIGOIndia #GravitationalWaves

And thanks to the national media for extensive coverage of InPTA + European Pulsar Timing Array results on the first hints of a cosmic gravitational wave background 🙏 #PTI #PTI_friends #InPTA #EPTA

We've all been hearing about how the GW background signal for which European Pulsar Timing Array+InPTA,NANOGrav PFC,CSIRO_ATNF, CPTA have evidence for is like a HUM To carry on the music metaphor in pulsar science; We bring you a sonified artistic rendition of our dispersion measure data, for fun!
