Description

By tracking the arrival times of radio pulses from a collection of pulsars in the Milky Way, several pulsar timing array collaborations have found evidence for a background of gravitational waves permeating our galaxy. In this talk, I will present this evidence and discuss possible paths forward to discriminate between astrophysical and cosmological interpretations of this background.
