The Green Bank North Celestial Cap Survey IX: Timing Follow-up for 128 Pulsars
A. E. McEwen, J. K. Swiggum, D. L. Kaplan +27
The Green Bank North Celestial Cap survey is one of the largest and most sensitive searches for pulsars and transient radio objects. Observations for the survey have finished; prio…
The black widow pulsar J1641+8049 in the optical, radio and X-rays
A. Yu. Kirichenko, S. V. Zharikov, A. V. Karpova +14
PSR J1641+8049 is a 2 ms black widow pulsar with the 2.2 h orbital period detected in the radio and -rays. We performed new phase-resolved multi-band photometry of PSR J1641+804…
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…
The NANOGrav 12.5-year data set: A computationally efficient eccentric binary search pipeline and constraints on an eccentric supermassive binary candidate in 3C 66B
Gabriella Agazie, Zaven Arzoumanian, Paul T. Baker +85
The radio galaxy 3C 66B has been hypothesized to host a supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) at its center based on electromagnetic observations. Its apparent 1.05-year period an…
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: Dispersion Measure Mis-Estimation with Varying Bandwidths
Sofia Valentina Sosa Fiscella, Michael T. Lam, Zaven Arzoumanian +28
Noise characterization for pulsar-timing applications accounts for interstellar dispersion by assuming a known frequency-dependence of the delay it introduces in the times of arriv…
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…
