Noise Reduction in Millisecond Pulsar Timing
Astronomers use pulsars as astronomical clocks to perform physical tests, such as in testing Einstein's Theory of General Relativity. As these tests require more precise clock time measurements, we run into problems associated with the pulses traveling through particles in space. Using data taken simultaneously at two radio telescopes, we looked to improve the precision of measurements taken of...
متن کاملOn the occurrence of glitches in pulsar free precession candidates
The timing properties of radio pulsars provide a unique probe of neutron star interiors. Recent observations have uncovered quasi-periodicities in the timing and pulse properties of some pulsars, a phenomenon that has often been attributed to free precession of the neutron star, with profound implications for the distribution of superfluidity and superconductivity in the star. We advance this p...
متن کاملSpin Locked Steady-State Free Precession Imaging
Introduction: T1ρ MRI is typically performed by magnetization preparation followed by a readout sequence during which the T1ρ-weighted signal is frequency and phase encoded (1). This paradigm is inherently time inefficient and, instead, it might be desirable to continuously acquire the T1ρ-weighted signal in the steady-state. Unfortunately, it isn’t clear how to establish a steady-state T1ρ con...
متن کاملLinear combination steady-state free precession MRI.
A new, fast, spectrally selective steady-state free precession (SSFP) imaging method is presented. Combining k-space data from SSFP sequences with certain phase schedules of radiofrequency excitation pulses permits manipulation of the spectral selectivity of the image. For example, lipid and water can be resolved. The contrast of each image depends on both T1 and T2, and the relative contributi...
متن کاملMR angiography using steady-state free precession.
Contrast-enhanced MR angiography (CE-MRA) using steady-state free precession (SSFP) pulse sequences is described. Using SSFP, vascular structures can be visualized with high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at a substantial (delay) time after the initial arterial pass of contrast media. The peak blood SSFP signal was diminished by <20% 30 min after the initial administration of 0.2 mmol/kg of Gd-che...
