The NANOGrav 12.5-Year Data Set: Dispersion Measure Misestimations with Varying Bandwidths

Noise characterization for pulsar-timing applications accounts for interstellar dispersion by assuming a known frequency dependence of the delay it introduces in the times of arrival (TOAs). However, calculations of this delay suffer from misestimations due to other chromatic effects in the observat...
