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…

First M87 Event Horizon Telescope Results. IX. Detection of Near-horizon Circular Polarization

The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration

Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations have revealed a bright ring of emission around the supermassive black hole at the center of the M87 galaxy. EHT images in linear polariza…

Polarimetric Geometric Modeling for mm-VLBI Observations of Black Holes

Freek Roelofs, Michael D. Johnson, Andrew Chael +4

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is a millimeter very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) array that has imaged the apparent shadows of the supermassive black holes M87* and Sagit…

First Sagittarius A* Event Horizon Telescope Results. VI: Testing the Black Hole Metric

The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration

Astrophysical black holes are expected to be described by the Kerr metric. This is the only stationary, vacuum, axisymmetric metric, without electromagnetic charge, that satisfies…

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…

Pulsar Scintillation through Thick and Thin: Bow Shocks, Bubbles, and the Broader Interstellar Medium

S. K. Ocker, J. M. Cordes, S. Chatterjee +6

Observations of pulsar scintillation are among the few astrophysical probes of very small-scale ( au) phenomena in the interstellar medium (ISM). In particular, character…
