The Heavy Tailed Non-Gaussianity of the Supermassive Black Hole Gravitational Wave Background

The paper "The Heavy Tailed Non-Gaussianity of the Supermassive Black Hole Gravitational Wave Background" explores why gravitational wave signals are "lumpy" rather than smooth. The hosts discuss how nearby black hole binaries create extreme outlier events that break traditional statistical tools and introduce GWADpy as a new modeling tool.
