Search for an Isotropic Gravitational-wave Background with the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array

Abstract Pulsar timing arrays aim to detect nanohertz-frequency gravitational waves (GWs). A background of GWs modulates pulsar arrival times and manifests as a stochastic process, common to all pulsars, with a signature spatial correlation. Here we describe a search for an isotropic stochastic grav... View More
