Argus
Welcome to the Argus project documentation.
Argus is a research project for the detection of nHz gravitational waves using Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs), leveraging a state-space representation.
It is an ongoing effort to open-source methods developed at the University of Melbourne and OzGrav. For the accompanying papers please see:

Etymology
The project is named Argus, after the hundred-eyed giant of Greek mythology.
> In a pulsar timing array, multiple pulsars across the sky act as a network of cosmic “eyes”, continuously watching for gravitational waves.
