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…
Optimal strategies for continuous wave detection in pulsar timing arrays: Realistic pulsar noise and a gravitational wave background
Shashwat C. Sardesai, Gabriel E. Freedman, Sarah J. Vigeland +1
Pulsar timing arrays are sensitive to low-frequency gravitational waves (GWs), such as those produced by supermassive binary black holes at subparsec separations. The incoherent su…
Inferring Mbh-Mbulge Evolution from the Gravitational Wave Background
Cayenne Matt, Kayhan Gultekin, Luke Kelley +104
We test the impact of an evolving supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass scaling relation (Mbh-Mbulge) on the predictions for the gravitational wave background (GWB). The observed GWB…
The NANOGrav 15 yr Data Set: Targeted Searches for Supermassive Black Hole Binaries
Nikita Agarwal, Gabriella Agazie, Akash Anumarlapudi +116
We present the first targeted searches for continuous gravitational waves (CWs) from 114 active galactic nuclei (AGN) that may host supermassive black hole binaries, using the NANO…
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…
