CCEGAP20: The Echo of the Big Bang in Pulsar Clocks: How the Birth of the Universe Left a Signal in NANOGrav

Puntos clave

• This research aims to calculate the gravitational waves produced by the CCEGA cosmological bounce and relate them to current NANOGrav observations.
• Calculated the stochastic gravitational wave background generated by the CCEGA cosmological bounce.
• Analyzed the gravitational radiation at Hubble frequency, redshifted to today's frequency of 8.2 nHz.
• Compared the calculated amplitude with NANOGrav's 2023 detection and addressed the spectral shape of the signals.
• Identified the gravitational wave amplitude at Omega_GW*h^2 ≃ 1.5×10^{-9}, consistent with NANOGrav findings.
• Demonstrated that the NANOGrav signal could include a component from the CCEGA bounce.
• Predicted that the SKA could confirm or refute these findings within the decade.
