abstract
A compact binary in an eccentric orbit radiates gravitational waves (GWs) at all integer harmonics of its orbital frequency. In this study, we investigate the effect of orbital eccentricity on the expected gravitational background radiation (GWBR) from supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries in the nuclei of galaxies. For this purpose, we formulate a power spectrum of the GWBR from cosmological evolving eccentric binaries. Then, we apply this formulation to the case of the GWBR from SMBH binaries. The key to doing this is to correctly estimate the number density of coalescing SMBH binaries. In this study, we use a semi-analytic model of galaxy and SMBH formation. We find that the power spectrum of the GWBR from SMBH binaries on eccentric orbits is suppressed for frequencies $f \lesssim 1~{\rm nHz}$ if the initial eccentricity, $e_0$, satisfies $e_0 > 0.2$ and the initial semi-major axis is 300 times Scwarzschild radius. Our model predicts that while the overall shape and amplitude of the power spectrum depend strongly on the processes of galaxy formation, the eccentricity of binaries can affect the shape of the power spectrum for lower frequencies, i.e., $f \lesssim 1~{\rm nHz}$. Pulsar timing measurements, which can detect GW in this frequency range, could constrain the effect of eccentricity on the power spectrum of the GWBR from SMBH binaries.

Gravitational Waves From Dark Binaries With Finite-Range Dark Forces
A finite-range dark force between dark-matter binaries sharpens and enhances the predicted gravitational wave background, adding knee features tied to the mediator mass.

Are PTA measurements sensitive to gravitational wave non-Gaussianities?
PTA statistical tests lose sensitivity to non-Gaussian GW features after decorrelation and cannot distinguish them model-agnostically.

Inferring the stochastic gravitational-wave background from eccentric stellar-mass binary black holes with spaceborne detectors
Eccentric black-hole-binary backgrounds from globular clusters and isolated evolution would look like power-law noise for TianQin/LISA/Taiji, but AGN-formed binaries produce a turnover that LISA and Taiji can distinguish.

How many pixels are there in a polarized pulsar timing array map?
Without pulsar distances, a pulsar timing array can resolve at most about 16 sky directions times 2 polarization states, about 32 independent polarized gravitational wave sources per frequency.
