VizieR Online Data Catalog: 2015-2017 LIGO obs. analysis for 221 pulsars (Abbott+, 2019)

The data analyzed in this paper consist of those obtained by the two LIGO detectors (the LIGO Hanford Observatory, commonly abbreviated to LHO or H1, and the LIGO Livingston Observatory, abbreviated to LLO or L1) taken during their first and second observing runs (O1 and O2, respectively) in their advanced detector configurations.

Data from O1 between 2015 September 11 (with start times of 01:25:03 UTC and 18:29:03 UTC for LHO and LLO, respectively) and 2016 January 19 at 17:07:59 UTC have been used for a total of 79 and 66 days of observing time for LHO and LLO, respectively.

Data from O2 between 2016 November 30 at 16:00:00 UTC and 2017 August 25 at 22:00:00 UTC, for both LHO and LLO, have been used.

For this analysis we have gathered ephemerides for 221 pulsars based on radio, X-ray, and γ-ray observations. The observations have used the 42ft telescope and Lovell telescope at Jodrell Bank (UK), the Mount Pleasant Observatory 26m telescope (Australia), the Parkes radio telescope (Australia), the Nancay Decimetric Radio Telescope (France), the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (Australia), the Arecibo Observatory (Puerto Rico), the Fermi Large Area Telescope, and the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER). See Section 2.2.

During the course of the O2 period, five pulsars exhibited timing glitches. The Vela pulsar (J0835-4510) glitched on 2016 December 12 at 11:36 UTC, and the Crab pulsar (J0534+2200) showed a small glitch on 2017 March 27 at around 22:04 UTC. PSR J1028-5819 glitched some time around 2017 May 29, with a best-fit glitch time of 01:36 UTC. PSRJ1718-3825 experienced a small glitch around 2017 July 2. PSRJ0205+6449 experienced four glitches over the period between the start of O1 and the end of O2, with glitch epochs of 2015 November 19, 2016 July 1, 2016 October 19, and 2017 May 27.
