SUMMARY:Building a galactic scale gravitational wave observatory\, Phy
 sics Department Colloquium\, Xavier Siemens\, University of Wisconsin-
 Milwaukee
DESCRIPTION:For the better part of the last decade\, the North America
 n Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) has been us
 ing the Green Bank and Arecibo radio telescopes to monitor millisecond
  pulsars. NANOGrav aims to directly detect low-frequency gravitational
  waves which cause small changes to the times of arrival of radio puls
 es. In this talk I will discuss the work of the NANOGrav collaboration
  and our sensitivity to gravitational waves from astrophysical sources
 . I will show that a detection is possible in the next few years.<br>
