Constraints on Supermassive Black Hole Binaries from the Lack of Resolvable Sources in the NANOGrav 15-yr Dataset

Emiko C. Gardiner, Kayhan Gültekin, Philippe Turgeon +116

Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) have found evidence of a gravitational wave background (GWB) consistent with a population of supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs), but have not yet…

The October 2022 flare in OJ 287 and the mass of its primary black hole

Mauri J. Valtonen, Staszek Zola, Manpreet Singh +21

The bright blazar OJ~287 has demonstrated a sequence of flares, which are well explained by a quasi-Keplerian orbit model. The flares are associated with the impact of the secondar…

Pulsar Timing Array Sensitivity to Anisotropy: Empirical Sensitivity Curves, Scaling Relations, and the Multi-Resolution Pixel Basis

Taha T. Moursy, Nihan S. Pol, Gabriella Agazie +115

We quantify pulsar timing array (PTA) sensitivity to anisotropy in the gravitational wave background using the cross-correlation based Fisher information matrix in the pixel and sp…

QuickGWecc: Fast Bayesian pipeline for searching eccentric binaries in pulsar timing array data

Lankeswar Dey, Bence Bécsy, Abhimanyu Susobhanan +1

Recent pulsar timing array (PTA) results have provided evidence for the presence of a nanohertz gravitational wave (GW) background, most likely originating from a population of sup…

The NANOGrav 15 yr Data Set: Impacts of Customized Chromatic Noise Models on Gravitational Wave Analyses

Nikita Agarwal, Gabriella Agazie, Alessandra Amosso +120

We report updated nHz gravitational wave (GW) significance, characterization, and interpretations using the customized chromatic-noise models (CNMs) developed in Larsen, Baier et a…
