The International Pulsar Timing Array second data release: Search for an isotropic Gravitational Wave Background
J. Antoniadis, Z. Arzoumanian, S. Babak +123
We searched for an isotropic stochastic gravitational wave background in the second data release of the International Pulsar Timing Array, a global collaboration synthesizing decad…
Constraining Formation Models of Binary Black Holes with Gravitational-Wave Observations
Michael Zevin, Chris Pankow, Carl L. Rodriguez +4
Gravitational waves (GWs) from binary black hole (BBH) mergers provide a new probe of massive-star evolution and the formation channels of binary compact objects. By coupling the g…
Constraints On The Dynamical Environments Of Supermassive Black-hole Binaries Using Pulsar-timing Arrays
Stephen R. Taylor, Joseph Simon, Laura Sampson
We introduce a technique for gravitational-wave analysis, where Gaussian process regression is used to emulate the strain spectrum of a stochastic background using population-synth…
Astrophysical Prior Information and Gravitational-wave Parameter Estimation
Chris Pankow, Laura Sampson, Leah Perri +4
The detection of electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational waves has great promise for the investigation of many scientific questions. It has long been hoped that in addition t…
Towards Robust Gravitational Wave Detection with Pulsar Timing Arrays
Neil J. Cornish, Laura M. Sampson
Precision timing of highly stable milli-second pulsars is a promising technique for the detection of very low frequency sources of gravitational waves. In any single pulsar, a stoc…
The NANOGrav Nine-year Data Set: Limits on the Isotropic Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background
Zaven Arzoumanian, Adam Brazier, Sarah Burke-Spolaor +45
We compute upper limits on the nanohertz-frequency isotropic stochastic gravitational wave background (GWB) using the 9-year data release from the North American Nanohertz Observat…
