Relic gravitons and pulsar timing arrays: a theoretical viewpoint
Published 2024-01-01“…Abstract During the last 3 years the pulsar timing arrays reported a series of repeated evidences of gravitational radiation (with stochastically distributed Fourier amplitudes) at a benchmark frequency of the order of 30 nHz and characterized by spectral energy densities (in critical units) ranging between $$10^{-8}$$ 10 - 8 and $$10^{-9}$$ 10 - 9 . …”

Wide-band Timing of the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array UWL Data
Published 2023-01-01“…Here we present the analysis of a 3 yr data set of 35 ms pulsars observed with the UWL by the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array, using wide-band timing methods. The two key differences compared to typical narrowband methods are (1) generation of two-dimensional templates accounting for pulse shape evolution with frequency and (2) simultaneous measurements of the pulse time of arrival (TOA) and dispersion measure (DM). …”

Exploring Proxies for the Supermassive Black Hole Mass Function: Implications for Pulsar Timing Arrays
Published 2023-01-01“…The population of binary SMBHs, which form following galaxy mergers, is expected to produce a gravitational-wave background (GWB) detectable by pulsar timing arrays (PTAs). PTAs are starting to see hints of what may be a GWB, and the amplitude of the emerging signal is toward the higher end of model predictions. …”

Pulsar timing arrays and primordial black holes from a supercooled phase transition
Published 2024-05-01“…An explicit realistic model featuring a supercooled phase transition, which allows us to explain the background of gravitational waves recently detected by pulsar timing arrays, is constructed. In this model the phase transition corresponds to radiative symmetry breaking (and mass generation) in a dark sector featuring a dark photon associated with the broken symmetry. …”

Search for the Gravitational-wave Background from Cosmic Strings with the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array Second Data Release
Published 2022-01-01“…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 tension, G μ , as a function of the reconnection probability, p , which can be less than 1 in the string-theory-inspired models or pure Yang–Mills theory. …”
