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…

The NANOGrav 11-Year Data Set: Evolution of Gravitational Wave Background Statistics
J. S. Hazboun, J. Simon, S. R. Taylor +60
An ensemble of inspiraling supermassive black hole binaries should produce a stochastic background of very low frequency gravitational waves. This stochastic background is predicte…

The NANOGrav 11-Year Data Set: Limits on Gravitational Waves from Individual Supermassive Black Hole Binaries
K. Aggarwal, Z. Arzoumanian, P. T. Baker +60
Observations indicate that nearly all galaxies contain supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at their centers. When galaxies merge, their component black holes form SMBH binaries (SMBHB…
