The NANOGrav 12.5-year data set: A computationally efficient eccentric binary search pipeline and constraints on an eccentric supermassive binary candidate in 3C 66B
Gabriella Agazie, Zaven Arzoumanian, Paul T. Baker +85
The radio galaxy 3C 66B has been hypothesized to host a supermassive black hole binary (SMBHB) at its center based on electromagnetic observations. Its apparent 1.05-year period an…
A Joint Fermi-GBM and Swift-BAT Analysis of Gravitational-Wave Candidates from the Third Gravitational-wave Observing Run
C. Fletcher, J. Wood, R. Hamburg +1696
We present Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (Fermi-GBM) and Swift Burst Alert Telescope (Swift-BAT) searches for gamma-ray/X-ray counterparts to gravitational wave (GW) candidate even…
The NANOGrav 15-year Data Set: Search for Anisotropy in the Gravitational-Wave Background
Gabriella Agazie, Akash Anumarlapudi, Anne M. Archibald +90
The North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) has reported evidence for the presence of an isotropic nanohertz gravitational wave background (GWB) in…
The NANOGrav 15-Year Data Set: Detector Characterization and Noise Budget
Gabriella Agazie, Akash Anumarlapudi, Anne M. Archibald +88
Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) are galactic-scale gravitational wave detectors. Each individual arm, composed of a millisecond pulsar, a radio telescope, and a kiloparsecs-long path,…
The NANOGrav 15-year Data Set: Evidence for a Gravitational-Wave Background
Gabriella Agazie, Akash Anumarlapudi, Anne M. Archibald +111
We report multiple lines of evidence for a stochastic signal that is correlated among 67 pulsars from the 15-year pulsar-timing data set collected by the North American Nanohertz O…
The NANOGrav 15-year Gravitational-Wave Background Methods
Aaron D. Johnson, Patrick M. Meyers, Paul T. Baker +93
Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) use an array of millisecond pulsars to search for gravitational waves in the nanohertz regime in pulse time of arrival data. This paper presents rigorou…
