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.…

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 impact of cosmic variance on PTAs anisotropy searches

Thomas Konstandin, Anna-Malin Lemke, Andrea Mitridate +1

Several Pulsar Timing Array (PTA) collaborations have recently found evidence for a Gravitational Wave Background (GWB) by measuring the perturbations that this background induces…

Detecting Gravitational Wave Anisotropies from Supermassive Black Hole Binaries

Anna-Malin Lemke, Andrea Mitridate, Kyle A. Gersbach

Several Pulsar Timing Array (PTA) collaborations have recently found evidence for a gravitational wave background (GWB) permeating our galaxy. The origin of this background is stil…

On the overlap reduction function of pulsar timing array searches for gravitational waves in modified gravity

Nina Cordes, Andrea Mitridate, Kai Schmitz +2

Pulsar Timing Array (PTA) searches for gravitational waves (GWs) aim to detect a characteristic correlation pattern in the timing residuals of galactic millisecond pulsars. This pa…

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…
