    Summary

    Description
    Deutsch: Die Zeichnung zeigt schematisch die Erkennung von Gravitationswellen mit einem pulsar timing array. Die Pulsare P1 ... Pn senden periodisch Signale. Eine durchlaufende Gravitationswelle (GW) verändert den Abstand Erde (E) - Pulsar und damit während der Veränderung den Abstand der Pulse. Durch Erfassung dieser Änderungen mehrerer Pulsare kann nach Herrausrechnen anderer Effekte eine Gravitationswelle erkannt werden.
    English: The sketch shows the detection of a en:Gravitational wave with a en:Pulsar timing array in a schematic way. The pulsars P1 ... Pn are sending signals periodically, which are received on Earth. A gravitational wave (GW) changes the distance, earth (E) - pulsar; while the distance changes, also the time between pulses change. By measuring the changes in the pulse parameters and their correlations, a gravitational wave can be detected.
