Dora Dojo Workshop Poster: Gravitational Wave Astronomy with a Precision Pulsar Timing Array Detector

The NANOGrav collaboration detects low-frequency gravitational waves using radio pulsars distributed across the galaxy. They measure pulse arrival times, accounting for various factors, and report correlated gravitational-wave signals. In this workshop, their recent results will be highlighted, including implications for supermassive black hole binary dynamics in merging galaxies and searches for these binaries, along with exploring gravitational wave signals from new physics.
