国际脉冲星定时阵列（IPTA）是一个组织，其成立être的原因是促进三个主要的现有脉冲星定时阵列（欧洲的EPTA，北美的nanogravity和澳大利亚的PPTA）之间的合作，以实现合并PTA数据集的好处，以实现PTA项目的目标。目前，50颗脉冲星的共享数据集可用于基于ipta的项目。IPTA的运作由一个指导委员会管理，该委员会由六名成员组成，每个PTA各两名成员，加上无投票权的上一任主席。章程和若干协议确定了合作的框架。网页向参与pta的成员和公众提供信息。在美国国家科学基金会（NSF） pir基金的支持下，IPTA促进了年度学生研讨会和科学会议的组织。这对于培训新学生和交流基于ipta的研究的当前成果都是非常有价值的。
The International Pulsar Timing Array (IPTA) is an organization whose raison d’être is to facilitate collaboration between the three main existing PTAs (the EPTA in Europe, NANOGrav in North America and the PPTA in Australia) in order to realize the benefits of combined PTA data sets in reaching the goals of PTA projects. Currently, shared data sets for 50 pulsars are available for IPTA-based projects. Operation of the IPTA is administered by a Steering Committee consisting of six members, two from each PTA, plus the immediate past Chair in a non-voting capacity. A Constitution and several Agreements define the framework for the collaboration. Web pages provide information both to members of participating PTAs and to the general public. With support from an NSF PIRE grant, the IPTA facilitates the organization of annual Student Workshops and Science Meetings. These are very valuable both in training new students and in communicating current results from IPTA-based research.
