The search for statistical anisotropy in the gravitational-wave background with pulsar timing arrays

Pulsar-timing arrays (PTAs) are seeking gravitational waves from supermassive-black-hole binaries, and there are prospects to complement these searches with stellar-astrometry measurements. Theorists still disagree, however, as to whether the local gravitational-wave background will be statistically...
