Quotes David Smith (Coordinator of the Fermi
Pulsar Timing Consortium) and David Thompson (Fermi LAT
multiwavelength coordinator) on behalf of FERMI collaboration (Thu, 16
May 2013): "Absolute phase accuracy when comparing pulse
profiles from space-based and ground instruments is essential for
physical interpretation, and we apply many independent methods to
cross-check multiwavelength timing. The sustained JBO Crab timing is a
key link in this chain, providing a known, reliable long-term fiducial
reference. [....] JBO Crab observations are a beacon to a very broad
community." The full letter can be found here.
Quotes Gabriela Gonzalez (LIGO Scientific
Collaboration Spokesperson) and Jean-Yves Vinet (Virgo Collaboration
Spokesperson) (Fri, 17 May 2013): "Without the ongoing work at
Jodrell Bank we would be unable to carry out year-long coherent
observations of one of our most promising sources of gravitational
radiation. No other observatory offers data of this quality, and this
is why we strongly endorse all efforts to maintain full operation of
this outstanding facility into the future." The full letter can be
found here.
Quotes Fiona Harrison ( Principal Investigator
NuStar) (Fri, 17 May 2013): "The regular monitoring of the
Crab pulsar undertaken by the Jodrell Bank Centre of Astrophysics,
using the 42ft telescope is crucial for many large projects. The
NuSTAR (Nuclear spectroscopic telescope array) mission is no
exception. NuSTAR is a X-ray satellite which was successfully launched
in June 2012. [....] Again, the contribution of Jodrell Bank is very
valuable, enhancing the scientific reward from the NuSTAR mission. We
hope that this great service will continue throughout the NuSTAR
mission, and for future projects as well." The full letter of support
can be found here.
Quotes Nepomuk Otte on behalf of VERITAS
collaboration (Fri, 19 Aug 2011): "we posted the VERITAS
detection of pulsed VHE emission >120 GeV from the Crab pulsar on the
arxiv today http://arxiv.org/abs/1108.3797 and got accepted by
Science. I would like to thank you and everyone else at Jodrell Bank
who is working on the Crab for the effort you made to provide us with
all the timing solutions. Without these precise radio timings it would
have been impossible to ever detect the ~1100 pulsed gamma rays in the
4 year spanning data set."
