Search for the Gravitational-wave Background from Cosmic Strings with the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array Second Data Release
We perform a direct search for an isotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background (SGWB) produced by cosmic strings in the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array (PPTA) Data Release 2 (DR2). We find no evidence for such an SGWB, and therefore place a 95% confidence level upper limit on the cosmic string tens...
