[IPTA Clock] Update on IPTA clock project

[R. Nicolas Caballero]

Hi Everyone,

Great to hear that the paper is accepted and that now is also available on astro-ph. I had a quick read before the IPTA meeting
and now I  read it in detail.

Regarding the EPTA data the situation is as follows.

Individual telescope data for our top priority pulsars are ready and we are
in the process of combining them. These pulsars are:

J0613-0200
J1012+5307
J1024-0719
J1744-1134
J1857+0943
J2145-0750

J1713+0747
J1600-3053
J1640+2224
J1643-1224
J1730-2304
J2317+1439
J1918-0642
J1022+1001
J1939+2134

For the six first in this list, preliminary combined sets are already uploaded on
the IPTA wiki. The next step in our plan is to have the preliminary multi-telescope
combinations for all the above sources by the end of September and share them on the IPTA wiki. 

It is definitely good to begin this project with the simulations;
the datasets that we have on the IPTA wiki and the rest to follow, 
provide Mike with enough info to create realistic simulations.

If you have any further questions feel free to ask me.

cheers,
Nicolas

Our initial plan is that Mike will produce some simulated data sets (starting with some simple data sets and finishing with some realistic simulations of IPTA data) that include errors in the simulated time standard.  Mike will then make these data sets available to anyone on this email distribution list who wishes to try out their algorithm for extracting the clock errors.

On that time scale it's unlikely that the PPTA will have updated our data sets and so we'd provide data for 20 pulsars spanning from ~1996 to Mar 2011.  These are the data already available on the IPTA wiki.  Could somebody from the EPTA and Nanograv provide us with a similar update for your data sets?
