Constraints on Ultralight Scalar and Dark Photon Dark Matter from PPTA-DR3 and EPTA-DR2

Xiao-Song Hu, Siyuan Chen, Kuo Liu +18

The cold dark matter model successfully describes the Universe on large scales, yet faces challenges at sub-galactic scales. Ultralight dark matter (ULDM), with particle masses aro…

Looking for non-gaussianity in Pulsar Timing Arrays through the four point correlator

Adrien Kuntz, Clemente Smarra, Massimo Vaglio

Pulsar Timing Arrays have recently reported strong evidence for a stochastic gravitational wave background. In standard analyses, it is modeled through pulsar-dependent Fourier coe…

Probing supermassive black hole scalarization with Pulsar Timing Arrays

Clemente Smarra, Lodovico Capuano, Adrien Kuntz

Scalar-tensor theories with a scalar field coupled to the Gauss-Bonnet invariant can evade no-hair theorems and allow for non-trivial scalar profiles around black holes. This coupl…

Constraints on minimally and conformally coupled ultralight dark matter with the EPTA

Clemente Smarra

Millisecond pulsars are extremely stable natural timekeepers. Pulsar Timing Array experiments, tracking subtle changes in the pulsars' rotation periods, can shed light on the prese…

Constraints on conformal ultralight dark matter couplings from the European Pulsar Timing Array

Clemente Smarra, Adrien Kuntz, Enrico Barausse +15

Millisecond pulsars are extremely precise celestial clocks: as they rotate, the beamed radio waves emitted along the axis of their magnetic field can be detected with radio telesco…

Pulsar Timing Array Signature from Oscillating Metric Perturbations due to Ultra-light Axion

Jai-chan Hwang, Donghui Jeong, Hyerim Noh +1

A coherently oscillating ultra-light axion can behave as dark matter. In particular, its coherently oscillating pressure perturbations can source an oscillating scalar metric pertu…

The second data release from the European Pulsar Timing Array: VI. Challenging the ultralight dark matter paradigm

Clemente Smarra, Boris Goncharov, Enrico Barausse +68

Pulsar Timing Array experiments probe the presence of possible scalar or pseudoscalar ultralight dark matter particles through decade-long timing of an ensemble of galactic millise…

The second data release from the European Pulsar Timing Array: IV. Implications for massive black holes, dark matter and the early Universe

J. Antoniadis, P. Arumugam, S. Arumugam +111

The European Pulsar Timing Array (EPTA) and Indian Pulsar Timing Array (InPTA) collaborations have measured a low-frequency common signal in the combination of their second and fir…
