Developing a pulsar-based time standard
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 March 2015
Abstract
We describe how observations of pulsars from the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array (PPTA) project have been used to develop a pulsar-based timescale. This is the first such timescale that has a precision comparable to uncertainties in international atomic timescales.
