Could it impact orbits? Or tides?
To even detect these, we need to observe multiple pulsars over long periods of time in order to find minute effects only visible at galactic scales due to the nanohertz frequency of these waves. In other words, spacetime is being stretched and compressed at subatomic scales on a sinusoidal wave with a period of a month or so.
It’s a bit like asking if cosmic rays from the Pinwheel Galaxy are affecting cancer rates.
Thank you for that context!
I don’t know the answer but it’s an interesting question
