Optimal Strategies for Gravitational-Wave Memory Detection with Noise Marginalization in Pulsar Timing Arrays

Rand Burnette, Xavier Siemens

Current pulsar timing arrays could detect gravitational wave memory, which would provide a unique test of general relativity. In order to optimize our searches for gravitational wa…

Searching beyond the fiducial stochastic gravitational wave background in pulsar timing array data using likelihood reweighting

Heling Deng, Xavier Siemens, Rand Burnette

Since the recent announcements of evidence for a stochastic gravitational wave background from several pulsar timing array collaborations, much effort has been devoted to explore f…

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…

Fast wavelet basis search for generic gravitational wave bursts in Pulsar Timing Array data

Jacob A. Taylor, Rand Burnette, Bence Bécsy +1

As we move into an era of more sensitive pulsar timing array data sets, we may be able to resolve individual gravitational wave sources from the stochastic gravitational wave backg…

The NANOGrav 15-year data set: Search for Transverse Polarization Modes in the Gravitational-Wave Background

Gabriella Agazie, Akash Anumarlapudi, Anne M. Archibald +96

Recently we found compelling evidence for a gravitational wave background with Hellings and Downs (HD) correlations in our 15-year data set. These correlations describe gravitation…

The NANOGrav 12.5-year Data Set: Search for Gravitational Wave Memory

Gabriella Agazie, Zaven Arzoumanian, Paul T. Baker +87

We present the results of a Bayesian search for gravitational wave (GW) memory in the NANOGrav 12.5-yr data set. We find no convincing evidence for any gravitational wave memory si…
