Description
Building on our recent work on continuous-wave searches in PTA data, this talk will discuss possible strategies for testing the origin of low-frequency CW candidates identified in recent EPTA and NANOGrav analyses, including the persistent 4 nHz feature. I will outline ideas for studying how candidate significance and coherence change across datasets and array combinations, with the aim of distinguishing individual supermassive black hole binary signals from noise artifacts or stochastic-background-induced structure. The talk is intended both as a brief overview of this direction and as a starting point for broader collaboration on CW-related analyses within EPTA and jointly with NANOGrav/IPTA.
