MBH binary intruders: triple systems from cosmological simulations
Mohammad Sayeb, Laura Blecha, Luke Zoltan Kelley
Massive black hole (MBH) binaries can form following a galaxy merger, but this may not always lead to a MBH binary merger within a Hubble time. The merger timescale depends on how…
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…
Representing low mass black hole seeds in cosmological simulations: A new sub-grid stochastic seed model
Aklant K Bhowmick, Laura Blecha, Paul Torrey +5
The nature of the first seeds of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) is currently unknown, with postulated initial masses ranging from to as low as $\sim10^2~M_{\…
Beyond the Background: Gravitational Wave Anisotropy and Continuous Waves from Supermassive Black Hole Binaries
Emiko C. Gardiner, Luke Zoltan Kelley, Anna-Malin Lemke +1
Pulsar timing arrays have found evidence for a low-frequency gravitational wave background (GWB). Assuming the GWB is produced by supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs), the nex…
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…
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…
The NANOGrav 15-year Data Set: Constraints on Supermassive Black Hole Binaries from the Gravitational Wave Background
Gabriella Agazie, Akash Anumarlapudi, Anne M. Archibald +111
The NANOGrav 15-year data set shows evidence for the presence of a low-frequency gravitational-wave background (GWB). While many physical processes can source such low-frequency gr…
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…
The NANOGrav 15-year Data Set: Search for Anisotropy in the Gravitational-Wave Background
Gabriella Agazie, Akash Anumarlapudi, Anne M. Archibald +90
The North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) has reported evidence for the presence of an isotropic nanohertz gravitational wave background (GWB) in…
The NANOGrav 15-year Data Set: Search for Signals from New Physics
Adeela Afzal, Gabriella Agazie, Akash Anumarlapudi +120
The 15-year pulsar timing data set collected by the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) shows positive evidence for the presence of a low-freque…
The NANOGrav 15-Year Data Set: Detector Characterization and Noise Budget
Gabriella Agazie, Akash Anumarlapudi, Anne M. Archibald +88
Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) are galactic-scale gravitational wave detectors. Each individual arm, composed of a millisecond pulsar, a radio telescope, and a kiloparsecs-long path,…
The NANOGrav 15-year Data Set: Observations and Timing of 68 Millisecond Pulsars
Gabriella Agazie, Md Faisal Alam, Akash Anumarlapudi +97
We present observations and timing analyses of 68 millisecond pulsars (MSPs) comprising the 15-year data set of the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NA…
The NANOGrav 15-year Data Set: Evidence for a Gravitational-Wave Background
Gabriella Agazie, Akash Anumarlapudi, Anne M. Archibald +111
We report multiple lines of evidence for a stochastic signal that is correlated among 67 pulsars from the 15-year pulsar-timing data set collected by the North American Nanohertz O…
Searching for continuous Gravitational Waves in the second data release of the International Pulsar Timing Array
M. Falxa, S. Babak, P. T. Baker +123
The International Pulsar Timing Array 2nd data release is the combination of datasets from worldwide collaborations. In this study, we search for continuous waves: gravitational wa…
The NANOGrav 12.5-year Data Set: Bayesian Limits on Gravitational Waves from Individual Supermassive Black Hole Binaries
Zaven Arzoumanian, Paul T. Baker, Laura Blecha +75
Pulsar timing array collaborations, such as the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav), are seeking to detect nanohertz gravitational waves emitted…
