Title: The nHz GW Background and the local population of BHs
Abstract: I will discuss the connection between the observed GW background and the local population of Black Holes. There is a very robust upper limit for the strength of the background based on the mass function of BHs. The observed level of the background is somewhat larger than expected. I will explore the astrophysical implications of this result.
