The NANOGrav 12.5-Year Data Set: Monitoring Interstellar Scattering Delays

Jacob E. Turner, Maura A. McLaughlin, James M. Cordes +33

We extract interstellar scintillation parameters for pulsars observed by the NANOGrav radio pulsar timing program. Dynamic spectra for the observing epochs of each pulsar were used…

On the detectability of ultra-compact binary pulsar systems

Nihan Pol, Maura McLaughlin, Duncan R. Lorimer +1

Using neural networks, we integrate the ability to account for Doppler smearing due to a pulsar's orbital motion with the pulsar population synthesis package \psrpoppy\ to develop…

Astrophysics Milestones For Pulsar Timing Array Gravitational Wave Detection

Nihan S. Pol, Stephen R. Taylor, Luke Zoltan Kelley +49

The NANOGrav Collaboration reported strong Bayesian evidence for a common-spectrum stochastic process in its 12.5-yr pulsar timing array dataset, with median characteristic strain…

The NANOGrav 12.5-year Data Set: Search For An Isotropic Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background

Zaven Arzoumanian, Paul T. Baker, Harsha Blumer +58

We search for an isotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background (GWB) in the -year pulsar timing data set collected by the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravit…

Modeling the Galactic Compact Binary Neutron Star Population and Studying the Double Pulsar System

Nihan Pol

In this dissertation, we estimate the population of different classes of BNS systems that are visible to gravitational-wave observatories. Given that no ultra-compact BNS systems h…

Multi-Messenger Gravitational Wave Searches with Pulsar Timing Arrays: Application to 3C66B Using the NANOGrav 11-year Data Set

Zaven Arzoumanian, Paul T. Baker, Adam Brazier +56

When galaxies merge, the supermassive black holes in their centers may form binaries and, during the process of merger, emit low-frequency gravitational radiation in the process. I…
