Evaluating the Fourier Approximation in Pulsar Timing Array Analysis

Yongqi Zhang, Hayden Scholz, Ken D. Olum +53

Pulsar timing arrays search for stochastic processes such as gravitational waves by comparing pulse time of arrival data for millisecond pulsars to expectations from a background w…

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…

Towards robust gravitational wave detections from individual supermassive black hole binaries

Bence Bécsy, Neil J. Cornish, Polina Petrov +4

The recent discovery of the stochastic gravitational-wave background via pulsar timing arrays will likely be followed by the detection of individual black hole binaries that stand…

Spectral Variance in a Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background From a Binary Population

William G. Lamb, Stephen R. Taylor

A population of compact object binaries emitting gravitational waves that are not individually resolvable will form a stochastic gravitational wave signal. While the expected spect…

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…
