See https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/488/1/401/5521897 for an open access paper that covers the Pulsar Timing Array/Supermassive Black Hole connection also I think this is the latest PTA paper https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.20510 where they seem to see the signal they'd expect to see from a gravitational wave background but they can't rule out that that it's a product of noise in the individual pulsar spins until they collect enough data to see signs of correlation between pulsars (e.g. I guess that means spinning down SMB emit coherent radiation over a 100,000-year time scale) Click on the…
