Resolving multiple supermassive black hole binaries with pulsar timing arrays. — •Stanislav Babak — Albert Einstein Institut, Am Muehlenberg 1, D-14476 Golm

Pulsar timing arrays might detect gravitational waves from massive black hole binaries within this decade. The signal is expected to be an incoherent superposition of several nearly-monochromatic waves of different strength. The brightest sources might be individually resolved, and the overall deconvolved, at least partially, in its individual components. We study resolvability of individual sources and estimation of their location on the sky.
