The properties of the first continuous gravitational waves: Optimizing pulsar timing observations for supermassive black hole binary detection

Several pulsar timing arrays have reported evidence for a nanohertz gravitational-wave background. This background is thought to arise from the superposition of signals from a population of inspiraling supermassive black hole binaries. A key test of this interpretation is the search for individually resolvable binaries...
