Pulsar Timing Arrays: The Next Window onto the Low-frequency Gravitational-wave Universe

Harvard CMSA via YouTube

Overview

Explore groundbreaking research in gravitational wave detection through this comprehensive lecture from the Workshop on Phase Transitions and Topological Defects in the Early Universe. Delve into the nanohertz-frequency band of gravitational waves and learn how Pulsar-timing arrays (PTAs) are revolutionizing our understanding of supermassive black-hole binaries and early Universe phenomena. Discover the latest findings from the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational waves (NANOGrav) and the International Pulsar Timing Array, while gaining practical insights into using production-level analysis pipelines for scientific research. Understand the significant milestones in PTA discovery and their implications for future gravitational wave detection. Learn how these cutting-edge technologies are opening new windows into cosmic phenomena, including phase transitions, cosmic strings, and other relics from the early Universe.
