Galaxy-Scale Gravitational Wave Detection: The MPTA and the Road Ahead
Dr. Matt Miles
Vanderbilt University
Gravitational waves are emitted across a vast spectrum of frequencies. Ground-based detectors such as LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA observe relatively high-frequency waves from compact object mergers, while at the other end of the spectrum, the inspirals of supermassive black hole binaries produce a low-frequency rumble detectable only with a galaxy-scale instrument. By monitoring the pulses emitted by millisecond pulsars distributed across the Milky Way, pulsar timing arrays construct such a detector, spanning thousands of light-years.
