Noise analysis in the European Pulsar Timing Array data release 2 and its implications on the gravitational-wave background search

A. Chalumeau et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the noise of six pulsars using data from the European Pulsar Timing Array (EPTA) and confirms the existence of a previously reported red noise signal. The results emphasize the importance of noise modeling for the reliable detection of gravitational waves.

A Catalog of 204 Offset and Dual Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs): Increased AGN Activation in Major Mergers and Separations under 4 kpc

Aaron Stemo et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the fraction of AGNs peaks at SMBH pair separations <10 kpc and significantly increases at separations of <4 kpc; AGNs in mergers are more commonly found in major mergers, with the fraction decreasing as the merger mass ratio increases. Mergers do not trigger the most luminous AGNs, and factors such as nuclear column density, AGN luminosity, and host galaxy star formation rate show no dependence on SMBH pair separation or merger mass ratio.

The NANOGrav 12.5-year Data Set: Search for Non-Einsteinian Polarization Modes in the Gravitational-wave Background

Zaven Arzoumanian et al.

Summary: The study searched for evidence of a gravitational-wave background (GWB) with all spatial correlations allowed by general metric theories of gravity in NANOGrav's data, but found no substantial evidence supporting such correlations. Results showed that scalar-transverse (ST) correlations had higher signal-to-noise ratios and Bayes factors than quadrupolar (tensor-transverse, TT) correlations, but the significance of ST correlations decreased significantly when considering solar system ephemeris systematics.

Common-red-signal analysis with 24-yr high-precision timing of the European Pulsar Timing Array: inferences in the stochastic gravitational-wave background search

S. Chen et al.

Summary: This study searched for a stochastic gravitational-wave background (GWB) using data from six radio millisecond pulsars, finding spectral properties consistent with theoretical predictions but lacking the required HD correlation for GWB detection. The most favored model was found to be common uncorrelated red noise, with the results being marginally influenced by Solar system ephemeris effects.

Cosmic String Interpretation of NANOGrav Pulsar Timing Data

John Ellis et al.

Summary: Pulsar timing data was used to set upper limits on a stochastic gravitational wave background, but recent findings from the NANOGrav Collaboration suggest a stochastic common-spectrum process, potentially related to cosmic strings. The SGWB signal identified by NANOGrav falls within a specific range of string tension values and could be measured by various detectors beyond the capabilities of LIGO.

NANOGrav Data Hints at Primordial Black Holes as Dark Matter

V De Luca et al.

Summary: The NANOGrav Collaboration recently published strong evidence for a stochastic gravitational wave background, which could be explained by second-order gravitational waves produced during the formation of primordial black holes. This research proposes two predictions: that primordial black holes may comprise the majority of dark matter and that the gravitational wave stochastic background will also be observed by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna experiment.

Has NANOGrav Found First Evidence for Cosmic Strings?

Simone Blasi et al.

Summary: The North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves has found strong evidence for a stochastic common-spectrum process affecting pulsar timing residuals, possibly emitted by a cosmic-string network. Future experiments will probe the entire viable parameter space of stable Nambu-Goto strings in relation to their tension and loop size.

Did NANOGrav See a Signal from Primordial Black Hole Formation?

Ville Vaskonen et al.

Summary: Recent research suggests that the NANOGrav results can be interpreted as a stochastic gravitational wave signal associated with the formation of primordial black holes from high-amplitude curvature perturbations, aligning well with the formation of primordial seeds for supermassive black holes.

Solar-mass primordial black holes explain NANOGrav hint of gravitational waves

Kazunori Kohri et al.

Summary: The NANOGrav collaboration recently announced evidence of an isotropic stochastic process, potentially the first detection of the stochastic gravitational-wave background. They discuss the possibility that this signal is caused by second-order gravitational waves associated with the formation of solar-mass primordial black holes, and propose testing methods for future observations.

Astrophysics Milestones for Pulsar Timing Array Gravitational-wave Detection

Nihan S. Pol et al.

Summary: The NANOGrav Collaboration has found strong Bayesian evidence for a common-spectrum stochastic process in their 12.5 yr pulsar timing array data set, with median characteristic strain amplitude at periods of a year. Even though evidence for the quadrupolar Hellings & Downs interpulsar correlations, which are characteristic of gravitational-wave signals, was not yet significant. By injecting a wide range of stochastic gravitational-wave background (GWB) signals into the data set, three key milestones were quantified, including the expectation of robust evidence for an interpulsar-correlated GWB signal after 15-17 yr of data accumulation.

On the Evidence for a Common-spectrum Process in the Search for the Nanohertz Gravitational-wave Background with the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array

Boris Goncharov et al.

Summary: A nanohertz-frequency stochastic gravitational-wave background can be potentially detected through the precise timing of millisecond pulsars, revealing a common-spectrum component. Recent data supports the presence of a common-spectrum process, but analysis may suffer from model misspecification. Extensions and combinations of datasets will improve the prospects of identifying spatial correlations necessary for claiming a detection of the gravitational-wave background.

GWTC-2: Compact Binary Coalescences Observed by LIGO and Virgo during the First Half of the Third Observing Run

R. Abbott et al.

Summary: This report presents 39 candidate gravitational-wave events detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo during the first half of the third observing run (O3a) between April 1, 2019 and October 1, 2019. The events include black hole binary mergers up to a redshift of approximately 0.8 and events where the components cannot be unambiguously identified. The range of candidate event masses has expanded compared to previous catalogs, with the inclusion of binary systems with asymmetric mass ratios.

Massive black hole binary systems and the NANOGrav 12.5 yr results

H. Middleton et al.

Summary: NANOGrav has detected a common stochastic signal across a series of pulsars, potentially linked to a stochastic gravitational-wave background caused by unresolved massive black hole binaries. Using astronomical models and additional constraints, the merger rate and timescale of black hole binaries can be inferred, suggesting that a sufficiently large population of black holes will form and merge within a Hubble time.

Comparison of cosmic string and superstring models to NANOGrav 12.5-year results

Jose J. Blanco-Pillado et al.

Summary: This study compares the spectrum of stochastic gravitational wave background produced in various models of cosmic strings and discusses the theoretical uncertainties in computing such a background. Despite the uncertainties, cosmic strings are seen as a plausible explanation for the potential signal, with the consequences for cosmic string parameters depending on the specific model. Superstrings could also explain the signal, but only within a restricted parameter space where their network behavior is effectively the same as ordinary cosmic strings.

Common-spectrum process versus cross-correlation for gravitational-wave searches using pulsar timing arrays

Joseph D. Romano et al.

Summary: NANOGrav has reported strong statistical evidence for a common-spectrum red-noise process in their 12.5-year analysis, but there is currently little evidence for quadrupolar spatial correlations across pulsars in the array. They provide a back-of-the-envelope illustration for nonexperts to understand the results using a simple signal + noise model and frequentist statistics.

Identifying and mitigating noise sources in precision pulsar timing data sets

Boris Goncharov et al.

Summary: Pulsar timing array projects measure pulse arrival times of millisecond pulsars to detect nanohertz-frequency gravitational waves. Besides known noise sources, new sources have been identified, requiring robust statistical and physical models to improve sensitivity in gravitational wave detection. The detection of pulse profile variations emphasizes the need for efficient profile domain timing methods.
