Supercooled phase transitions: can they explain gravitational wave signals?

To create nHz frequency signals, the vacuum junctions must be supercooled. These slow transitions are difficult to complete due to the cosmic expansion of the universe. Even when the transition is complete, the wave frequencies can shift away from nHz. Although nanohertz gravitational waves are cool, their origin is probably not supercooled.
