摘要:

我们已经建立了一个新的时标,TT(IPTA 16)的基础上,从国际脉冲星定时阵列(IPTA)的第一个数据发布的射电望远镜的观测。我们使用了两种分析技术与独立的估计脉冲星观测的噪声模型和不同的算法获得脉冲星时标。这两种分析在估计的不确定性范围内一致,并且都与TT(BIPM 17)一致,后者是国际计量局(BIPM)制作的后校正时标。我们表明,这两种方法可以检测到重大错误TT(BIPM 17),如果他们存在。我们估计的稳定性的原子钟从TT(BIPM 17)是来自使用四个铷喷泉钟在美国海军天文台的观测。将TT(IPTA 16)的功率谱与这些喷泉钟的功率谱进行比较表明,基于脉冲星的时间尺度不太可能在未来十年内对最佳时间尺度的稳定性做出贡献,但它们仍然是对原子时间尺度的有价值的独立检查。我们还发现,基于脉冲星的时间尺度的稳定性很可能受到我们对太阳系动力学的了解的限制,TT(BIPM 17)中的误差不会成为IPTA主要目标的限制因素,IPTA的主要目标是寻找纳赫兹引力波的签名。

英文摘要:

We have constructed a new timescale, TT(IPTA16), based on observations of radio pulsars presented in the first data release from the International Pulsar Timing Array (IPTA). We used two analysis techniques with independent estimates of the noise models for the pulsar observations and different algorithms for obtaining the pulsar timescale. The two analyses agree within the estimated uncertainties and both agree with TT(BIPM17), a post-corrected timescale produced by the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM). We show that both methods could detect significant errors in TT(BIPM17) if they were present. We estimate the stability of the atomic clocks from which TT(BIPM17) is derived using observations of four rubidium fountain clocks at the US Naval Observatory. Comparing the power spectrum of TT(IPTA16) with that of these fountain clocks suggests that pulsar-based timescales are unlikely to contribute to the stability of the best timescales over the next decade, but they will remain a valuable independent check on atomic timescales. We also find that the stability of the pulsar-based timescale is likely to be limited by our knowledge of solar-system dynamics, and that errors in TT(BIPM17) will not be a limiting factor for the primary goal of the IPTA, which is to search for the signatures of nano-Hertz gravitational waves.
