Theses and Dissertations
With next-generation radio telescopes, namely the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope(FAST) and Square Kilometer Array(SKA), scheduled to come online during this decade, hundreds of well-timed millisecond pulsars (MSPs) will be added to the Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) being used currently for Gravitational Wave (GW) searches. This will greatly increase the distances to which GW sources in the very low frequency band can be detected. Among these sources will be super massive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) formed out of gigantic black holes weighing in at million to billion times the mass of our Sun. Although the large number of MSPs will improve …
