The Future Prospects of Nanograph
Nanograph has been taking data for 15 years and it's taken a team of 100 astrophysicists to get this result. The signal to noise that we measure with our experiment increases as the number of pulsars that we add and as the square root of the time. One way of adding these new pulsars is to go out and search for more pulsars. And when we combine our data streams from all the individual pulsars, we'll get denser data sets which can make us much more sensitive to supermassive black hole binaries.
