You can either use higher-dimensional arrays (if 1pm, 2pm, 3pm
etc. all have the same length), and index them all at once, like:

times=[ [1_pm], [2_pm], [3_pm] ]
xt=x[times]
yt=y[times]

or, if they are of different length, use an array of pointers, ala:

times=ptrarr(n_times)
times[0]=ptr_new(...) ;; fill in the times pointer array

for i=0,n_elements(times)-1 do begin
xt=x[*times[i]]
yt=y[*times[i]]
;; do something with xt, yt
endfor
