Abstract

The European Pulsar Timing Array is a collaboration that has recently been formed between the five major radio observatories in Europe: Jodrell Bank, Effelsberg, Westerbork, Nançay and Sardinia. Together we work towards detecting gravitational waves. We combine the individual strengths of all the different observatories to obtain improved results. We give a short introduction on the partners, goals and instrumentation of this collaboration. Besides gravitational wave detection, the EPTA collaboration is sharing data to optimize timing on, for example, millisecond binary pulsars. We present some recent results of combining datasets of the four telescopes now in use for the EPTA.
