Pulsar timing is a promising method for detecting gravitational
waves in the nano-Hertz band. In his prize winning Ph.D. thesis
Rutger van Haasteren deals with how one takes thousands of
seemingly random timing residuals which are measured by pulsar
observers, and extracts information about the presence and
character of the gravitational waves in the nano-Hertz band that
are washing over our Galaxy. The author presents a sophisticated
mathematical algorithm that deals with this issue. His algorithm is
probably the most well-developed of those that are currently in use
in the Pulsar Timing Array community. In chapter 3, the
gravitational-wave memory effect is described. This is one of the
first descriptions of this interesting effect in relation with
pulsar timing, which may become observable in future Pulsar Timing
Array projects. The last part of the work is dedicated to an effort
to combine the European pulsar timing data sets in order to search
for gravitational waves. This study has placed the most stringent
limit to date on the intensity of gravitational waves that are
produced by pairs of supermassive black holes dancing around each
other in distant galaxies, as well as those that may be produced by
vibrating cosmic strings. Rutger van Haasteren has won the 2011
GWIC Thesis Prize of the Gravitational Wave International Community
for his innovative work in various directions of the search for
gravitational waves by pulsar timing. The work is presented in this
Ph.D. thesis.
