Pulsar Timing Response to Gravitational Waves with Spherical Wave Fronts from a Massive Compact Source in the Quadrupole Approximation
Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) are searching for nanohertz-frequency gravitational waves (GWs) through cross-correlation of pulse arrival times from a set of radio pulsars. PTAs have relied on a frequency-shift formula of the pulse, where planar GWs are usually assumed. Phase corrections due to the wav...
