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…

The SKAO Pulsar Timing Array

Ryan M. Shannon, N. D. Ramesh Bhat, Aurélien Chalumeau +22

Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) are ensembles of millisecond pulsars observed for years to decades. The primary goal of PTAs is to study gravitational-wave astronomy at nanohertz frequ…

Testing General Relativity with Individual Supermassive Black Hole Binaries

Qinyuan Zheng, Bjorn Larsen, Ellis Eisenberg +1

We develop a unified framework for testing gravity beyond General Relativity (GR) with continuous gravitational waves (CWs) from individual supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs…

Gravity Echoes from Supermassive Black Hole Binaries

Qinyuan Zheng, Bence Bécsy, Chiara M. F. Mingarelli

Pulsar timing arrays record gravitational waves from supermassive black hole binaries at two spacetime points: an Earth term, measured when the wave passes the Earth, and a pulsar…
