The NANOGrav 15 yr Data Set: Harmonic Analysis of the Pulsar Angular Correlations

Gabriella Agazie, Jeremy G. Baier, Paul T. Baker +86

Pulsar timing array observations have found evidence for an isotropic gravitational wave background with the Hellings-Downs angular correlations, expected from general relativity.…

The NANOGrav 12.5-Year Data Set: Probing Interstellar Turbulence and Precision Pulsar Timing with PSR J1903+0327

Abra Geiger, James M. Cordes, Michael T. Lam +33

Free electrons in the interstellar medium refract and diffract radio waves along multiple paths, resulting in angular and temporal broadening of radio pulses that limits pulsar tim…

The NANOGrav 15 Yr Data Set: Removing Pulsars One by One from the Pulsar Timing Array

Gabriella Agazie, Akash Anumarlapudi, Anne M. Archibald +102

Evidence has emerged for a stochastic signal correlated among 67 pulsars within the 15-year pulsar-timing data set compiled by the NANOGrav collaboration. Similar signals have been…

Inference on inner galaxy structure via gravitational waves from supermassive binaries

Yifan Chen, Matthias Daniel, Daniel J. D'Orazio +107

The detection of a stochastic gravitational wave background by pulsar-timing arrays indicates the presence of a population of supermassive black hole binaries. Although the observe…

The NANOGrav 15 yr Data Set: Running of the Spectral Index

Gabriella Agazie, Akash Anumarlapudi, Anne M. Archibald +102

The NANOGrav 15-year data provides compelling evidence for a stochastic gravitational-wave (GW) background at nanohertz frequencies. The simplest model-independent approach to char…

Characterizing the nanohertz gravitational wave background using a -process power spectral density

Shashwat C. Sardesai, Joseph Simon, Sarah J. Vigeland

Pulsar timing arrays are sensitive to low-frequency gravitational waves (GWs), which induce correlated changes in millisecond pulsars' timing residuals. PTA collaborations around t…
