Limits on the stochastic gravitational wave background from the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves

We present an analysis of high-precision pulsar timing data taken as part of the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) project. We have observed 17 pulsars for a span of roughly five years using the Green Bank and Arecibo radio telescopes. We analyze these data usin...
