DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/nhetc/9/">Te
 sting fundamental physics using pulsars</a>\nby Jeff Dror (UC Santa Cruz) 
 as part of NHETC Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nA pulsar is a star that can rotate
  as fast as a thousand times per second\, with each rotation sending a bea
 m of light at our telescopes. The arrival time of each pulse is dependent 
 on the Earth's motion\, opening an opportunity to search for gravitational
  waves shaking the Earth with frequencies of O(year^-1). In this talk\, I 
 will show how these datasets can be used to probe fundamental physics focu
 sing both on types of signals to search for as well as how recent developm
 ents in machine learning can be employed to greatly expand the range of se
 arches carried out by pulsar timing experiments. These searches are partic
 ularly timely due to the recent detection of a correlated signal across ma
 ny pulsars\, which may be our first glimpse of gravitational waves from su
 permassive black hole mergers.\n
