摘要:

欧洲脉冲星定时阵列(EPTA)是一个多机构、多望远镜的合作项目,目标是利用高精度脉冲星定时直接探测引力波。在这篇文章中,我们讨论了EPTA成员望远镜,目前实现的定时精度,以及不久的将来的目标。我们报告一个初步的上限的引力波背景的振幅。我们还讨论了欧洲大型脉冲星阵列,其中涉及脉冲星计时的五个主要欧洲望远镜将结合起来,提供一个相干阵列,该阵列将提供与阿雷西博射电望远镜相似的灵敏度和更大的天空覆盖范围。

英文摘要:

The European Pulsar Timing Array (EPTA) is a multi-institutional, multi-telescope collaboration, with the goal of using high-precision pulsar timing to directly detect gravitational waves. In this article we discuss the EPTA member telescopes, current achieved timing precision, and near-future goals. We report a preliminary upper limit to the amplitude of a gravitational wave background. We also discuss the Large European Array for Pulsars, in which the five major European telescopes involved in pulsar timing will be combined to provide a coherent array that will give similar sensitivity to the Arecibo radio telescope, and larger sky coverage.
