  2. TDS Documentation • Published articles • S1: PRD 69 (2004) art. no. 082004. • S2: PRL 94 (2005) art. no. 181103. • Investigation bulletin boards • http://www.lsc-group.phys.uwm.edu/pulgroup/investigations/s3index.html#knownpulsartd • http://www.lsc-group.phys.uwm.edu/pulgroup/investigations/s4index.html#knownpulsartd • http://www.lsc-group.phys.uwm.edu/pulgroup/investigations/s5index.html#knownpulsartd • Review bulletin boards • http://www.ligo.caltech.edu/~pshawhan/lsc/pulreview/s3td/ • http://www.ligo.caltech.edu/~pshawhan/lsc/pulreview/s5td/

  3. S3/S4 Analysis • Six review telecons since March 2005 • S3 preliminary results approved for 2005 Amaldi conference • Analysis and review are nearly complete- technique is mature, a few minor issues are still pending. • Article is in preparation- format is rough, content not yet internally reviewed

  4. S5 Analysis • Obviously ongoing, one review so far • Upper limits based upon ~2 months’ data from H1 and L1, using essentially the same method and code as the S3/S4 analysis (which is essentially the S2 analysis) • The review committee recommends that Matt’s preliminary results be approved for the APS meeting

  5. Pulsar Selection • Upper limits for 73 pulsars • This is fewer than for S4; old ephemerides decay in value to us • J057- 6910 is not one of these pulsars (none of the pulsars with large timing noise are included) • Level of timing noise, when unknown for a pulsar, is inferred from known period derivative. • It would be better to know the timing directly
