The NANOGrav 15-year Data Set: Bayesian Limits on Gravitational Waves from Individual Supermassive Black Hole Binaries

Gabriella Agazie, Akash Anumarlapudi, Anne M. Archibald +96

Evidence for a low-frequency stochastic gravitational wave background has recently been reported based on analyses of pulsar timing array data. The most likely source of such a bac…

Physics Beyond the Standard Model With Pulsar Timing Arrays

Xavier Siemens, Jeffrey S. Hazboun, Paul T. Baker +5

Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) will enable the detection of nanohertz gravitational waves (GWs) from a population of supermassive binary black holes (SMBBHs) in the next ye…

Inferring Mbh-Mbulge Evolution from the Gravitational Wave Background

Cayenne Matt, Kayhan Gultekin, Luke Kelley +104

We test the impact of an evolving supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass scaling relation (Mbh-Mbulge) on the predictions for the gravitational wave background (GWB). The observed GWB…

Heliosphere Meets Interstellar Medium, in a Galactic Context

Stella Koch Ocker, James Cordes, Shami Chatterjee +8

The physical conditions within our heliosphere are driven by the Sun's motion through an evolving interstellar environment that remains largely unexplored. The next generation of o…

The NANOGrav Nine-year Data Set: Limits on the Isotropic Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background

Zaven Arzoumanian, Adam Brazier, Sarah Burke-Spolaor +45

We compute upper limits on the nanohertz-frequency isotropic stochastic gravitational wave background (GWB) using the 9-year data release from the North American Nanohertz Observat…

The NANOGrav 12.5 yr Data Set: Observations and Narrowband Timing of 47 Millisecond Pulsars

Md F. Alam, Zaven Arzoumanian, Paul T. Baker +67

We present time-of-arrival (TOA) measurements and timing models of 47 millisecond pulsars (MSPs) observed from 2004 to 2017 at the Arecibo Observatory and the Green Bank Telescope…

The NANOGrav 12.5-year Data Set: Wideband Timing of 47 Millisecond Pulsars

Md F. Alam, Zaven Arzoumanian, Paul T. Baker +67

We present a new analysis of the profile data from the 47 millisecond pulsars comprising the 12.5-year data set of the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves…

The NANOGrav 11-year Data Set: High-precision timing of 45 Millisecond Pulsars

Zaven Arzoumanian, Adam Brazier, Sarah Burke-Spolaor +53

We present high-precision timing data over time spans of up to 11 years for 45 millisecond pulsars observed as part of the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Wa…
