Not just a phase: detecting nanohertz gravitational waves from phase alone

Unambiguously detecting a gravitational-wave background (GWB) in pulsar-timing data requires a robust detection statistic. The pulsar timing community currently relies heavily on the cross-correlation-based"optimal statistic."Its design was motivated to avoid false-positive detections from unmodeled pulsar red noise. H...

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...
