Detection and localization of single-source gravitational waves with pulsar timing arrays

Xing-Jiang Zhu, Linqing Wen, George Hobbs +7

Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) can be used to search for very low frequency ($10^{-9}$--$10^{-7}$ Hz) gravitational waves (GWs). In this paper we present a general method for the dete…
