Gravitational-wave cosmology across 29 decades in frequency

Paul D. Lasky, Chiara M. F. Mingarelli, Tristan L. Smith +24

Quantum fluctuations of the gravitational field in the early Universe, amplified by inflation, produce a primordial gravitational-wave background across a broad frequency band. We…

Gravitational waves from binary supermassive black holes missing in pulsar observations

R. M. Shannon, V. Ravi, L. T. Lentati +19

Gravitational waves are expected to be radiated by supermassive black hole binaries formed during galaxy mergers. A stochastic superposition of gravitational waves from all such bi…

Limitations in timing precision due to single-pulse shape variability in millisecond pulsars

R. M. Shannon, S. Osłowski, S. Dai +17

High-sensitivity radio-frequency observations of millisecond pulsars usually show stochastic, broadband, pulse-shape variations intrinsic to the pulsar emission process. These vari…
