Astrophysics Milestones For Pulsar Timing Array Gravitational Wave Detection

Nihan S. Pol, Stephen R. Taylor, Luke Zoltan Kelley +49

The NANOGrav Collaboration reported strong Bayesian evidence for a common-spectrum stochastic process in its 12.5-yr pulsar timing array dataset, with median characteristic strain…

The NANOGrav 12.5-year Data Set: Search For An Isotropic Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background

Zaven Arzoumanian, Paul T. Baker, Harsha Blumer +58

We search for an isotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background (GWB) in the -year pulsar timing data set collected by the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravit…

Inferring the properties of a population of compact binaries in presence of selection effects

Salvatore Vitale, Davide Gerosa, Will M. Farr +1

Shortly after a new class of objects is discovered, the attention shifts from the properties of the individual sources to the question of their origin: do all sources come from the…

Pulsar Timing Array Constraints on the Merger Timescale of Subparsec Supermassive Black Hole Binary Candidates

Khai Nguyen, Tamara Bogdanovic, Jessie C. Runnoe +4

We estimate the merger timescale of spectroscopically-selected, subparsec supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) candidates by comparing their expected contribution to the gravitat…

From Bright Binaries To Bumpy Backgrounds: Mapping Realistic Gravitational Wave Skies With Pulsar-Timing Arrays

Stephen R. Taylor, Rutger van Haasteren, Alberto Sesana

Within the next several years, pulsar-timing array programs will likely usher in the next era of gravitational-wave astronomy through the detection of a stochastic background of na…

The NANOGrav 12.5-year Data Set: Wideband Timing of 47 Millisecond Pulsars

Md F. Alam, Zaven Arzoumanian, Paul T. Baker +67

We present a new analysis of the profile data from the 47 millisecond pulsars comprising the 12.5-year data set of the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves…
