A number of challenges to the standard Λ CDM model have been emerging during the past few years as the accuracy of cosmological observations improves. In this review we discuss …
We analyze cosmic superstring models in light of NANOGrav 15-year pulsar timing data. A good fit is found for a string tension G μ∼ 10-12–10-11 and a string intercommutation …
The most conservative interpretation of the nHz stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) discovered by NANOGrav and other pulsar timing array (PTA) collaborations is …
The NANOGrav Collaboration has recently published strong evidence for a stochastic common-spectrum process that may be interpreted as a stochastic gravitational wave …
Pulsar timing data used to provide upper limits on a possible stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB). However, the NANOGrav Collaboration has recently reported strong …
The existence of∼ 109M⊙ supermassive black holes (SMBHs) within the first billion years of the Universe has stimulated numerous ideas for the prompt formation and rapid growth of …
We give a detailed treatment of electromagnetic signals generated by gravitational waves (GWs) in resonant cavity experiments. Our investigation corrects and builds upon previous …
We revisit the possibility that the stochastic common-spectrum process recently detected by the NANOGrav pulsar timing array experiment could be due to primordial gravitational …
The NANOGrav and other pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) have recently announced evidence for nHz gravitational waves (GWs) that may originate from supermassive black hole (SMBH) …
