Description

We present a summary of novel techniques based on astrometry science and exploiting the joint measurement from astrometric surveys and Pulsar Timing Array to constraint the production of gravitational waves in the nHz band. We address our presentation on the possibility of probing a stochastic GW background with data coming from existing and planned optical surveys, such as Gaia and LSST, showing the potentials and the limitations of those experiments in our search.
