This Ph.D. thesis from the University of Birmingham UK opens new
research avenues in the use of Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) to study
populations of super-massive black hole binaries through
gravitational-wave observations. Chiara Mingarelli's work has shown
for the first time that PTAs can yield information about the
non-linear dynamics of the gravitational field. This is possible
because PTAs capture, at the same time, radiation from the same
source emitted at stages of its binary evolution that are separated
by thousands of years. Dr. Mingarelli, who is the recipient of a
Marie Curie International Outgoing Fellowship, has also been
amongst the pioneers of the technique that will allow us to probe
the level of anisotropy of the diffuse gravitational-wave
background radiation from the whole population of super-massive
black hole binaries in the Universe. Indeed, future observations
will provide us with hints about the distribution of galaxies
harboring massive black holes and insights into end products of
hierarchical mergers of galaxies.
