Constraints on the velocity of gravitational waves from NANOGrav 15-year data set
read the original abstract
General relativity predicts that gravitational waves propagate at the speed of light. Although ground-based gravitational-wave detectors have successfully constrained the velocity of gravitational waves in the high-frequency range, extending this constraint to the lower frequency range remains a challenge. In this work, we utilize the deviations in the overlap reduction function for a gravitational-wave background within pulsar timing arrays to investigate the velocity of gravitational waves in the nanohertz frequency band. By analyzing the NANOGrav 15-year data set, we obtain a well-constrained lower bound for the velocity of gravitational waves that $v \gtrsim 0.87\,c$, where $c$ is the speed of light.

Probing Graviton Mass with MeerKAT PTA and SKA--PTA Forecasts
MPTA 4.5-year data imply a 90% upper bound of mg < 2.1 × 10−23 eV/c2, consistent with massless gravitons; SKA-PTA could reach ~10−25 eV/c2.
