The Heavy Tailed Non-Gaussianity of the Supermassive Black Hole Gravitational Wave Background
Juhan Raidal, Juan Urrutia, Ville Vaskonen +1
We study the non-Gaussian features of the gravitational wave (GW) background generated by a population of inspiraling supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries. We show that the SMBH…

CMB anisotropies from cosmic (super)strings in light of ACT DR6
Juhan Raidal, Anastasios Avgoustidis, Edmund Copeland +1
We present updated constraints on cosmic string and superstring parameters derived from Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies. The constraints are obtained via Markov Chai…
