This paper summarizes parallel session C1: Pulsar Timing Arrays of the Amaldi10/GR20 Meeting held in Warsaw, Poland in July 2013. The session showcased recent results from pulsar timing array collaborations, advances in modelling the gravitational-wave signal, and new methods to search for and characterize gravitational waves in pulsar timing array observations.

Keywords: Gravitational waves; Pulsars

Domains: Sciences of the Universe [physics]; Astrophysics [astro-ph]
