In today’s bite, we look at a paper that investigates if self-interacting dark matter can accelerate the inspiral of supermassive black holes binaries, and if we can detect this with gravitational waves. Read this on astrobites.

Pulsar timing arrays could localise individual sources of gravitational waves to host galaxies. The problem is, it’s so computationally difficult! This paper shows us a faster way. Read this on astrobites.

Post-detection of a gravitational wave background, pulsar timing arrays could detect individual sources of gravitational waves, called Continuous Waves. Let’s find out what properties we expect them to have! Read this on astrobites
