Pulsar Timing Array Sensitivity to Anisotropy: Empirical Sensitivity Curves, Scaling Relations, and the Multi-Resolution Pixel Basis

Taha T. Moursy, Nihan S. Pol, Gabriella Agazie +115

We quantify pulsar timing array (PTA) sensitivity to anisotropy in the gravitational wave background using the cross-correlation based Fisher information matrix in the pixel and sp…

The NANOGrav 12.5-year Data Set: Chromatic Noise Characterization & Mitigation with Time-Domain Kernels

Jeffrey S. Hazboun, Joseph Simon, Jeremy Baier +64

Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) have recently entered the detection era, quickly moving beyond the goal of simply improving sensitivity at the lowest frequencies for the sake of observ…

Deep Neural Emulation of the Supermassive Black-hole Binary Population

Nima Laal, Stephen R. Taylor, Luke Zoltan Kelley +13

While supermassive black-hole (SMBH)-binaries are not the only viable source for the low-frequency gravitational wave background (GWB) signal evidenced by the most recent pulsar ti…

Model Dependence of Bayesian Gravitational-Wave Background Statistics for Pulsar Timing Arrays

Jeffrey S. Hazboun, Joseph Simon, Xavier Siemens +1

Pulsar timing array (PTA) searches for a gravitational-wave background (GWB) typically include time-correlated "red" noise models intrinsic to each pulsar. Using a simple simulated…

The International Pulsar Timing Array: First Data Release

J. P. W. Verbiest, L. Lentati, G. Hobbs +89

The highly stable spin of neutron stars can be exploited for a variety of (astro-)physical investigations. In particular arrays of pulsars with rotational periods of the order of m…
