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…
The NANOGrav 15 yr Data Set: Piecewise Power-Law Reconstruction of the Gravitational-Wave Background
Gabriella Agazie, Akash Anumarlapudi, Anne M. Archibald +108
The NANOGrav 15-year (NG15) data set provides evidence for a gravitational-wave background (GWB) signal at nanohertz frequencies, which is expected to originate either from a cosmi…
Core Scouring Dynamics and Gravitational Wave Consequences: Constraints on Supermassive Black Hole Binary Hardening
C. J. Harris, Kayhan Gultekin, Kayhan Gültekin +1
We present a multi-messenger investigation of supermassive black hole binary (SBHB) hardening by jointly comparing models to the observed stellar mass deficits of nearby core galax…
The Era of Binary Supermassive Black Holes: Coordination of Nanohertz-Frequency Gravitational-Wave Follow-up
Sarah Burke-Spolaor, Tamara BogdanoviÄ, Daniel J. D'Orazio +9
Here we summarize discussions and conclusions from the conference ``The Era of Binary Supermassive Black Holes: Coordination of Nanohertz-Frequency Gravitational-Wave Follow-up,''…
WIggle Corrector Kit for NIRSpEc Data: WICKED
Antoine Dumont, Nadine Neumayer, Anil C. Seth +8
The point-spread function of the integral-field unit (IFU) mode of the JWST's NIRSpec is heavily under-sampled, creating resampling noise seen as low-frequency sinusoidal-like arti…
The NANOGrav 15-year Data Set: Search for Gravitational Wave Memory
Gabriella Agazie, Akash Anumarlapudi, Anne M. Archibald +102
We present the results of a search for nonlinear gravitational wave memory in the NANOGrav 15-year data set. We find no significant evidence for memory signals in the dataset, with…
