The NANOGrav 15 yr Data Set: Harmonic Analysis of the Pulsar Angular Correlations

Gabriella Agazie, Jeremy G. Baier, Paul T. Baker +86

Pulsar timing array observations have found evidence for an isotropic gravitational wave background with the Hellings-Downs angular correlations, expected from general relativity.…

Deep Neural Emulation of the Supermassive Black-hole Binary Population

Nima Laal, Stephen R. Taylor, Luke Zoltan Kelley +13

While supermassive black-hole (SMBH)-binaries are not the only viable source for the low-frequency gravitational wave background (GWB) signal evidenced by the most recent pulsar ti…

The NANOGrav 15 Yr Data Set: Removing Pulsars One by One from the Pulsar Timing Array

Gabriella Agazie, Akash Anumarlapudi, Anne M. Archibald +102

Evidence has emerged for a stochastic signal correlated among 67 pulsars within the 15-year pulsar-timing data set compiled by the NANOGrav collaboration. Similar signals have been…

Inference on inner galaxy structure via gravitational waves from supermassive binaries

Yifan Chen, Matthias Daniel, Daniel J. D'Orazio +107

The detection of a stochastic gravitational wave background by pulsar-timing arrays indicates the presence of a population of supermassive black hole binaries. Although the observe…

The NANOGrav 15 yr Data Set: Running of the Spectral Index

Gabriella Agazie, Akash Anumarlapudi, Anne M. Archibald +102

The NANOGrav 15-year data provides compelling evidence for a stochastic gravitational-wave (GW) background at nanohertz frequencies. The simplest model-independent approach to char…

The NANOGrav 15 yr data set: Posterior predictive checks for gravitational-wave detection with pulsar timing arrays

Gabriella Agazie, Akash Anumarlapudi, Anne M. Archibald +99

Pulsar-timing-array experiments have reported evidence for a stochastic background of nanohertz gravitational waves consistent with the signal expected from a population of superma…

Eccentric Signatures of Stellar-Mass Binary Black Holes with Circumbinary Disks in LISA

Isobel M. Romero-Shaw, Samir Goorachurn, Magdalena Siwek +1

Stellar-mass binary black holes may have circumbinary disks if formed through common-envelope evolution or within gaseous environments. Disks can drive binaries into wider and more…

The NANOGrav 15 yr Data Set: Looking for Signs of Discreteness in the Gravitational-wave Background

Gabriella Agazie, Akash Anumarlapudi, Anne M. Archibald +97

The cosmic merger history of supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) is expected to produce a low-frequency gravitational wave background (GWB). Here we investigate how signs of…

Signatures of Circumbinary Disk Dynamics in Multi-Messenger Population Studies of Massive Black Hole Binaries

Magdalena Siwek, Luke Zoltan Kelley, Lars Hernquist

We investigate the effect of cutting-edge circumbinary disk (CBD) evolution models on massive black hole binary (MBHB) populations and the gravitational wave background (GWB). We s…
