North American NanoHertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves
The North American NanoHertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) is a consortium of 14 institutions in the U.S. and Canada that are developing the technique of using radio pulsars to detect and study gravitational waves. CARA plays a leading role in this collaboration. The efforts of NANOGrav were deemed a high priority by the national research council. ARCC students are contributing to the science goals of the collaboration through their pulsar searching efforts. ARCC students train with collaborators within NANOGrav and its international partners in Australia, Germany, and China.
