Massive black hole binary systems, with masses in the range ~10^4-10^10 \msun, are among the primary sources of gravitational waves in the frequency window ~10^-9 Hz - 0.1 Hz. Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) and the Laser Interferometer Space…

Gravitational wave memory is an important prediction of general relativity, which has not been detected yet. Amounts of memory events can form a stochastic gravitational wave memory background. Here we find that memory background can be…

The stochastic gravitational-wave background (SGWB) generated by the inspiral and merger of binary neutron stars is traditionally modelled assuming that the inspiral is promptly followed by the collapse of the merger remnant to a rotating…
