More accurate gravitational wave backgrounds from cosmic strings

Jeremy M. Wachter, Ken D. Olum, Jose J. Blanco-Pillado

We derive a general procedure for calculating the gravitational wave background (GWB) from cosmic string loops whose typical shape evolves over time, as in gravitational backreacti…

Numerical gravitational backreaction on cosmic string loops from simulation

Jeremy M. Wachter, Ken D. Olum, Jose J. Blanco-Pillado +2

We report on the results of performing computational gravitational backreaction on cosmic string loops taken from a network simulation. The principal effect of backreaction is to s…

The NANOGrav 15-year data set: Search for Transverse Polarization Modes in the Gravitational-Wave Background

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

Recently we found compelling evidence for a gravitational wave background with Hellings and Downs (HD) correlations in our 15-year data set. These correlations describe gravitation…

How to Detect an Astrophysical Nanohertz Gravitational-Wave Background

Bence Bécsy, Neil J. Cornish, Patrick M. Meyers +93

Analysis of pulsar timing data have provided evidence for a stochastic gravitational wave background in the nHz frequency band. The most plausible source of such a background is th…

Comparing recent PTA results on the nanohertz stochastic gravitational wave background

The International Pulsar Timing Array Collaboration, G. Agazie, J. Antoniadis +242

The Australian, Chinese, European, Indian, and North American pulsar timing array (PTA) collaborations recently reported, at varying levels, evidence for the presence of a nanohert…

The NANOGrav 12.5-year Data Set: Search for Gravitational Wave Memory

Gabriella Agazie, Zaven Arzoumanian, Paul T. Baker +87

We present the results of a Bayesian search for gravitational wave (GW) memory in the NANOGrav 12.5-yr data set. We find no convincing evidence for any gravitational wave memory si…
