We probe ultra-low-frequency gravitational waves (GWs) with statistics of spin-down rates of milli-second pulsars (MSPs) by a method proposed in our prevous work (Yonemaru et al. 2016). The considered frequency range is $10^{-12}{\rm Hz}…

Gravitational Wave (GW) data bring an exceptional avenue to test the underlying models of coalescing compact objects. In the regime of strong gravity and high curvature, they allow the exploration of minute deviations from the best-fit…
