Finite Populations & Finite Time: The Non-Gaussianity of a Gravitational Wave Background

William G. Lamb, Jeremy M. Wachter, Andrea Mitridate +5

Strong evidence for an isotropic, Gaussian gravitational wave background (GWB) has been found by multiple pulsar timing arrays (PTAs). The GWB is expected to be sourced by a finite…

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…

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…

How to Detect an Astrophysical Nanohertz Gravitational-Wave Background

Bence Bécsy, Neil J. Cornish, Patrick M. Meyers +93

Analysis of pulsar timing data have provided evidence for a stochastic gravitational wave background in the nHz frequency band. The most plausible source of such a background is th…

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…

The NANOGrav 12.5-year data set: Search for Non-Einsteinian Polarization Modes in theGravitational-Wave Background

Zaven Arzoumanian, Paul T. Baker, Harsha Blumer +68

We search NANOGrav's 12.5-year data set for evidence of a gravitational wave background (GWB) with all the spatial correlations allowed by general metric theories of gravity. We fi…
