Description

The Gravitational Wave Background (GWB) is a cornucopia of information, waiting to be unraveled and explored; to this end, we've constructed a mapper which reconstructs the GWB anisotropies on the sky. In this talk, I will first introduce the GWB and its unique features. I will then present what type of data we expect to work with, and explain the mapping algorithm. Finally, I will motivate the multiple baseline approach, in which lies the strength of our method.
What would be the preferred length of your talk? 20 minutes + questions
