What time is it? For many applications, ranging from GPS navigation to interferometry-based astronomy, answering this question with extreme precision is crucial. To do so, one needs a highly stable clock. Currently, the most stable clocks are atomic clocks, but they are not perfect. Today’s paper presents a method to improve the stability of the time signal from atomic clocks by combining it with the time signal from millisecond pulsars.

Pulsar timing arrays could localise individual sources of gravitational waves to host galaxies. The problem is, it’s so computationally difficult! This paper shows us a faster way.

If every pulsar had more motion
Across the galactic plane
Then they’d all be surfin’
On fuzzy dark matter, yeah
