Probing fundamental physics with ALMA2040 mm-wavelength observations of neutron stars

Kuo Liu, Marilyn Cruces, Gregory Desvignes +8

Bursty or (rotation-induced) pulsed coherent radio emission from pulsars, magnetars, and fast radio transients originates in some of the most extreme environments in the Universe.…

Constraints on Supermassive Black Hole Binaries from the Lack of Resolvable Sources in the NANOGrav 15-yr Dataset

Emiko C. Gardiner, Kayhan Gültekin, Philippe Turgeon +116

Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) have found evidence of a gravitational wave background (GWB) consistent with a population of supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs), but have not yet…

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…

Understanding Pulsar Magnetospheres with the SKAO

L. S. Oswald, A. Basu, M. Chakraborty +21

The SKA telescopes will bring unparalleled sensitivity across a broad radio band, a wide field of view across the Southern sky, and the capacity for sub-arraying, all of which make…

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…

Photon-Count Statistics of Crab X-ray Pulses: Skellam Behavior and Excess Variance in the Main Pulse

Max Worchel, Margaret M. Ferris, Sasha Levina +15

The Crab pulsar (PSR B0531+21) provides an unusually rich test bed for statistical studies of high-energy photon-counting data, owing to its extreme brightness and the contrasting…

Gravitational Wave Measurement of the - Intrinsic Scatter at High Redshift

Cayenne Matt, Kayhan Gültekin, Gabriella Agazie +109

The observed GWB spectrum is higher in amplitude than model predictions by a factor of 2-3. Using a semi-analytic model, we evaluate the effect of a high-scatter supermassive black…

The NANOGrav 15 yr Data Set: Piecewise Power-Law Reconstruction of the Gravitational-Wave Background

Gabriella Agazie, Akash Anumarlapudi, Anne M. Archibald +108

The NANOGrav 15-year (NG15) data set provides evidence for a gravitational-wave background (GWB) signal at nanohertz frequencies, which is expected to originate either from a cosmi…
