Pulsar Timing Array Sensitivity to Anisotropy: Empirical Sensitivity Curves, Scaling Relations, and the Multi-Resolution Pixel Basis
Taha T. Moursy, Nihan S. Pol, Gabriella Agazie +115
We quantify pulsar timing array (PTA) sensitivity to anisotropy in the gravitational wave background using the cross-correlation based Fisher information matrix in the pixel and sp…
Parameter Estimation on LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA O4a Binary Merger Triggers with Sub-solar Mass Components
Nelson Christensen, Nelson Christensen. Neil Cornish, Neil Cornish +3
The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration has reported the results for searches for sub-solar mass components in compact binary coalescence during observing run O4a. No detection candidat…
GUEST: Gravitational Universe Exploration with Satellite Tracking. A passive satellite laser-ranging mission for the dark gravitational Universe
Diego Blas, Aurélien Hees, F. Javier Atapuerca +78
GUEST is a space mission concept whose central objective is the detection of gravitational waves (GWs) in the microhertz band -- a physics-rich frequency window that no other prese…
Modeling non-stationary noise: applications in gravitational wave astronomy
Neil J. Cornish
In an ideal world, the measurement noise in gravitational wave data would be stationary and Gaussian. In reality, neither of these conditions holds. Here a general framework is int…
A new framework for lightning-fast gravitational wave analysis of pulsar timing data
Aiden Gundersen, Rutger van Haasteren, Neil J. Cornish +2
Pulsar timing array data analysis is computationally expensive, limiting the complexity of models which can be studied. As pulsar timing datasets and their respective models grow i…
The NANOGrav 15 yr Data Set: Impacts of Customized Chromatic Noise Models on Gravitational Wave Analyses
Nikita Agarwal, Gabriella Agazie, Alessandra Amosso +120
We report updated nHz gravitational wave (GW) significance, characterization, and interpretations using the customized chromatic-noise models (CNMs) developed in Larsen, Baier et a…
