Targeted PTA searches for CWs from 114 AGN in NANOGrav 15 yr data yield no detections, factor-of-two tighter limits than all-sky searches, and updated constraints ruling out part of the parameter space for a binary in 3C 66B.

Simulations forecast 21-51% probability of resolving individual SMBH binaries with PTAs in 0-10 years, with localization areas containing ~190k early-type galaxies on average and a ranking method that excludes roughly half the candidates when galaxy properties are available.
Applies simulation-informed stellar kinematic criteria to archival IFU data to produce a ranked list of nearby massive galaxies as potential SMBHB hosts for PTA follow-up.
