Generalized Non-linear Bayesian Pulsar Timing with Enterprise

Andrew R. Kaiser, Jeffrey S. Hazboun, Maura A. McLaughlin +56

In this study, we use the Bayesian methods in the Enterprise package to examine the fully general parameterization of pulsar timing models in tandem with noise. We investigate four…

Pulsar Timing Array Sensitivity to Anisotropy: Empirical Sensitivity Curves, Scaling Relations, and the Multi-Resolution Pixel Basis

Taha T. Moursy, Nihan S. Pol, Gabriella Agazie +115

We quantify pulsar timing array (PTA) sensitivity to anisotropy in the gravitational wave background using the cross-correlation based Fisher information matrix in the pixel and sp…

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…

The NANOGrav 15 yr Data Set: Impacts of Customized Chromatic Noise Models on Gravitational Wave Analyses

Nikita Agarwal, Gabriella Agazie, Alessandra Amosso +120

We report updated nHz gravitational wave (GW) significance, characterization, and interpretations using the customized chromatic-noise models (CNMs) developed in Larsen, Baier et a…

Prospects of resolving and localising individual supermassive black hole binaries with pulsar timing arrays: the host ranking challenge

Niccolò Veronesi, Maria Charisi, Polina Petrov +5

Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) are soon expected to detect individually resolved supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries, opening the possibility for multi-messenger discoveries. The…

Archival Multiband Gravitational-Wave Signals from Massive Black Hole Binary Mergers

Alexander W. Criswell, Stephen R. Taylor, Kris Pardo +4

While massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) merge at gravitational-wave frequencies above the pulsar timing array (PTA) sensitivity band, we show that they leave orphaned low-frequen…
