Comparing recent PTA results on the nanohertz stochastic gravitational wave background - full noise and GWB parameter comparison plots

<p>A full collection of plots comparing the noise properties of individual pulsars and gravitational wave background parameters discussed in the companion paper <em>Comparing recent PTA results on the nanohertz stochastic gravitational wave background</em> (IPTA 2024).</p> <p><code>Section4_GWB_comparison.zip</code> supplements and expands section 4.1, "Comparing the published GWB measurements," of IPTA (2024). It contains parameter difference distributions for GWB model parameters.&nbsp; There are four different models included. The HD correlated powerlaw (PL) model make up the basis for Figure 2.&nbsp; Additionally, there are three comparisons not included in IPTA (2024).&nbsp; First, comparisons the common uncorrelated red noise (CURN) PL model are included.&nbsp; Finally,&nbsp; comparisons of two free spectral (FS) models (HD and CURN) are included.&nbsp; These comparisons fit the HD and CURN FS posteriors using the <code>ceffyl</code> software package, and then compare the parameters of the resulting powerlaw fits.</p> <p><code>Section5_Noise_comparison.zip</code> supplements section 5, "Comparing Pulsar Noice Properties," of IPTA (2024).&nbsp; It contains plots for 27 pulsars timed by more than one PTA collaboration, including the plots for PSR J1012+5307, which are presented in Figure 7.&nbsp; The plots include noise parameter posteriors, time domain GP realizations, TOA residuals, and TOA radio frequency.</p>

Dataset from "More accurate gravitational wave backgrounds from cosmic strings"

<p>This file contains data tables representing gravitational wave backgrounds (GWBs) produced by Nambu-Goto cosmic strings evolved under numerical gravitational backreaction. The GWBs were produced using the methodology of "More accurate gravitational wave backgrounds from cosmic strings" [to appear], by the same authors as this dataset.</p> <p>The file is organized in three columns:</p> <ol> <li>The base-10 logarithm of the string coupling to gravity, G\mu. The range is from -8 to -22 in steps of -0.1.</li> <li>The frequency in Hz, f. The range is from 10^(-12) Hz to 10^5 Hz in multiplicative steps of 10^(0.01).</li> <li>The critical energy density fraction in gravitational waves scaled by the dimensionless Hubble constant squared, \Omega_{gw} h^2.</li> </ol>

Mass-redshift dependency of Supermassive Black Hole Binaries for the Gravitational Wave Background

<p>These show the posterior distributions as supplementary material for arXiv:2305.18293 and doi:10.1093/mnras/stae1219</p> <p>The corner plots for the complete 20 parameters with amplitudes hc = 0.5e-15, 1e-15, 2e-15, 3e-15, and 4e-15 for both circular and eccentric population of SMBHBs are presented in the 'free_parameters' folder.</p> <p>The corner plots for the 16 parameters with amplitudes hc = 0.5e-15, 2e-15, and 4e-15 for both circular and eccentric population of SMBHBs using the fitted BH-bulge mass parameters from the simulations can be found in the 'simulation_parameters' folder.</p> <p>The posterior distributions are shown as black contours, while the prior distributions are denoted by light green lines. The top right inlay figure shows the median and central 2sigma range of the recovered characteristic spectrum, where the 5 points denote the frequency bins of 1/(25years), 2/(25years), 3/(25years), 4/(25years) and 5/(25years), which are used as the input data for the Bayesian analysis. To guide the eye the analytic sensitivity curve from the IPTA DR2 is also plotted.</p>
