Inferring Mbh-Mbulge Evolution from the Gravitational Wave Background
Cayenne Matt, Kayhan Gultekin, Luke Kelley +104
We test the impact of an evolving supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass scaling relation (Mbh-Mbulge) on the predictions for the gravitational wave background (GWB). The observed GWB…
Mapping the Gravitational-wave Background Across the Spectrum with a Next-Generation Anisotropic Per-frequency Optimal Statistic
Kyle A. Gersbach, Stephen R. Taylor, Bence Bécsy +3
With pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) having observed a gravitational wave background (GWB) at nanohertz frequencies, the focus of the field is shifting towards determining and characte…
Characterizing Continuous Gravitational Waves from Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in Realistic Pulsar Timing Array Data
Emiko C. Gardiner, Bence Bécsy, Luke Zoltan Kelley +1
Pulsar timing arrays recently found evidence for a gravitational wave background (GWB), likely the stochastic overlap of GWs from many supermassive black hole binaries. Anticipatin…
Towards robust gravitational wave detections from individual supermassive black hole binaries
Bence Bécsy, Neil J. Cornish, Polina Petrov +4
The recent discovery of the stochastic gravitational-wave background via pulsar timing arrays will likely be followed by the detection of individual black hole binaries that stand…
