Review of "pulsars as gravitational wave detectors" for the ICREA Workshop on The High-Energy Emission from Pulsars and their

Scientific paper

Pulsar timing array projects are carrying out high precision observations of millisecond pulsars with the aim of detecting ultra-low frequency (~ 10^{-9} to 10^{-8} Hz) gravitational waves. We show how unambiguous detections of such waves can be obtained by identifying a signal that is correlated between the timing of different pulsars. Here we describe the ongoing observing projects, the expected sources of gravitational waves, the processing of the data and the implications of current results.
