B Gravitational Wave Background: The Mysteries of the Universe

Click For Summary
Recent discussions highlight significant advancements in understanding gravitational wave backgrounds and their implications for physics and cosmology. The Nanograv organization is noted for generating datasets from pulsar arrays, which are crucial for analyzing gravitational waves. Various authors are interpreting this data, contributing to breakthroughs in our understanding of the universe's evolution. Relevant research papers and resources, such as those found on ARXIV and ADS, provide further insights into these developments. This area of study is gaining traction as a promising field for future discoveries in astrophysics.

TL;DR
Pulsars as galaxy-wide "sensors" for net gravitational wave background
I don't know if this is the ideal sub-forum for this but I'd like to know more about this very recent activity I first saw here >>>>>'



It looks like this could be some actually testable, actual breakthrough advances in Physics and the evolution of our Universe. Any comments appreciated.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Google finds http://nanograv.org/ with some background information.

It appears that that organization generates a dataset from the array of pulsars, and other authors attempt to analyze the data and interpret the result. I'm not familiar with the topic, but Google did find https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2020ApJ...900..102A/abstract as one such example, I don't have a complete set of such analsyis or have any idea of how well they analyses have been accepted.
 
Moderator's note: Spin-off from another thread due to topic change. In the second link referenced, there is a claim about a physical interpretation of frame field. Consider a family of observers whose worldlines fill a region of spacetime. Each of them carries a clock and a set of mutually orthogonal rulers. Each observer points in the (timelike) direction defined by its worldline's tangent at any given event along it. What about the rulers each of them carries ? My interpretation: each...
