Searching for a Gravitational Wave Background with Pulsar Timing Arrays
Sarah Vigeland, Asst. Professor, Dept. of Physics, UW-Milwaukee
Pulsar timing arrays use observations of millisecond pulsars to detect nanohertz gravitational waves. The North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) Collaboration has recently released their 15-year data set containing observations of 68 millisecond pulsars. These data contain evidence for Hellings-Downs correlations, which are characteristic of a gravitational wave background.
