Uncertainties in the supermassive black hole abundance and implications for the GW background
Cross-catalog offsets in black hole mass proxies shift the predicted nHz gravitational wave background by factors comparable to PTA uncertainties; matching the observed amplitude requires a selection effect of about one sigma of the intrinsic scatter.
