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…
QuickGWecc: Fast Bayesian pipeline for searching eccentric binaries in pulsar timing array data
Lankeswar Dey, Bence Bécsy, Abhimanyu Susobhanan +1
The paper introduces QuickGWecc, a fast Bayesian pipeline that extends the QuickCW framework to efficiently search for continuous gravitational waves from eccentric supermassive bl…
Mitigating the Timing Impact of Anomalous Pulse Profile Shape Variability in PSR J1713+0747 with Gaussian Component Modeling
Shania A. Nichols, Michael T. Lam, Gabriella Agazie +31
The paper presents a Gaussian component modeling technique to track and correct sudden pulse‑shape changes in the millisecond pulsar PSR J1713+0747, preserving high‑precision timin…
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…
Gravitational Wave Measurement of the - Intrinsic Scatter at High Redshift
Cayenne Matt, Kayhan Gültekin, Gabriella Agazie +109
The observed GWB spectrum is higher in amplitude than model predictions by a factor of 2-3. Using a semi-analytic model, we evaluate the effect of a high-scatter supermassive black…
The GMRT High-Resolution Southern Sky Survey for pulsars and transients -- VIII: Orbital Variability and the Evolution of a 1-Day He-WD Millisecond Pulsar J2101-4208
Ankita Ghosh, Bhaswati Bhattacharyya, David L. Kaplan +8
We present timing and orbital phase-resolved polarimetry of the millisecond pulsar (MSP) J21014802, having a spin period of 9.48~ms and dispersion measure (DM) $25.05\ \mathrm{p…
