Multi-Messenger Astrophysics With Pulsar Timing Arrays
Abstract
Pulsar timing arrays are on the verge of detecting low-frequency gravitational waves from supermassive black hole binaries. Multi-messenger observations will revolutionize our understanding of: 1. co-evolution of BHs with their hosts, 2. interactions of binaries with their environments, 3. fundamental physics of accretion, 4. cosmological distances
