Fast and Flow-rious: Gravitational Wave Background Bayesian Model Comparison using Normalizing Flows and Nested Sampling
In 2023, pulsar timing array (PTA) collaborations around the world announced evidence for a nanohertz gravitational-wave background (GWB). Beyond increasing the detection significance, the next major goal is to characterize the GWB and identify its source(s). The typical model-comparison metric used in PTA analyses is...
