The Indian Pulsar Timing Array (InPTA)[1] is an Indo-Japanese collaboration aimed at detecting low-frequency, nanoHertz Gravitational Waves using the pulsar timing technique. This experiment uses the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope to carry out observations of highly regular pulses from millisecond pulsars. This project is a part of the International Pulsar Timing Array, a global collaboration of pulsar timing array experiments that includes the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array, the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves and the European Pulsar Timing Array.

Pulsar observations for detection of gravitational waves

The pulsar timing array experiments observe an ensemble of highly rotationally stable millisecond pulsars, distributed more or less uniformly in the sky, with high signal-to-noise ratio pulse detections and minimal signal distortion due to the interstellar medium, for searches of gravitational waves.
