NanoGrav 12.5-yr data and different stochastic Gravitational wave background sources [CEA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2009.13893


The NANOGrav Collaboration recently observed a strong evidence for a stochastic common-spectrum process in the pulsar timing data. In this work, we evaluate the possibility to interpret this process as stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds produced from first-order phase transitions, cosmic strings, domain walls, and large amplitude curvature perturbations.
