How to take the interstellar weather with you in pulsar timing analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Here we present a Bayesian method of including discrete measurements of dispersion measure due to the interstellar medium in the direction of a pulsar as prior information in the analysis of that pulsar. We use a simple simulation to show the efficacy of

Nesting ecology of an ice‐associated seabird, Kittlitz's murrelet, at the northern edge of its range

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We studied the Kittlitz's murrelet, an ice‐associated seabird of conservation concern, at the northern edge of its range. Over a 2‐year period, we estimated nest density and success at 2 sites, captured and telemetered nesting murrelets, and tested the use of a thermal camera to improve nest detection.

Long-term Timing Evolution of Four Anomalous X-Ray Pulsars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) and soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs) are believed to be manifestations of magnetars. Typically, AXPs exhibit higher X-ray luminosities, whereas SGRs are generally fainter and display significantly high signal-to-noise ratios

Strong-Field Gravity Tests with the Double Pulsar

open access: yesPhysical Review X, 2021
Continued timing observations of the double pulsar PSR J0737–3039A/B, which consists of two active radio pulsars (A and B) that orbit each other with a period of 2.45 h in a mildly eccentric (e=0.088) binary system, have led to large improvements in the ...

A Method to Estimate the Cooling Time of Ultra-Relativistic Electrons in Pulsar Wind Nebulae [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2015
Pulsar is a highly magnetized rotating neutron star. It continuously emits a wind of relativistic electrons and positrons. This wind creates an electron-positron-cloud around the pulsar. This cloud, which is full of relativistic electrons and positrons, is called a Pulsar Wind Nebula (PWN).

DrLS: Distortion‐Resistant Lossless Steganography via Colour Depth Interpolation

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The lossless data steganography is to hide a certain amount of information into a container image. Previous lossless steganography methods fail to strike a balance between capacity, imperceptibility, accuracy, and robustness, commonly vulnerable to distortion on container images.

The optimal schedule for pulsar timing array observations

open access: yes, 2012
In order to maximize the sensitivity of pulsar timing arrays to a stochastic gravitational wave background, we present computational techniques to optimize observing schedules. The techniques are applicable to both single and multi-telescope experiments.

Soybean Inositol Polyphosphate 5‐Phosphatase 8 Confers Salt Tolerance by Reducing Sodium Influx Through Inositol 1,4,5‐Trisphosphate Signalling

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Evidence suggests that the metabolism of inositol and its derivatives may be involved in various biological processes including salt tolerance, but there has been limited understanding. Ectopic expression of Gs5PTase8, an inositol polyphosphate 5‐phosphatase cloned from wild soybean (Glycine soja), significantly enhanced salt tolerance in ...

The Gravitational-wave Background Null Hypothesis: Characterizing Noise in Millisecond Pulsar Arrival Times with the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
The noise in millisecond pulsar (MSP) timing data can include contributions from observing instruments, the interstellar medium, the solar wind, solar system ephemeris errors, and the pulsars themselves.
