A small set of anchor pulsars with sub-wavelength distance precision can reduce 90% credible sky localization areas to 0.1-9.2 square degrees at SNR 20, enabling host galaxy identification.
Simulations forecast 21-51% probability of resolving individual SMBH binaries with PTAs in 0-10 years, with localization areas containing ~190k early-type galaxies on average and a ranking method that excludes roughly half the candidates when galaxy properties are available.
