No tension between assembly models of super massive black hole binaries and pulsar observations

Nature Communications, 2018
Pulsar timing arrays enable the search for the isotropic gravitational-wave (GW) background originating from super massive black hole binary populations, but impose a stringent upper limit on the GW characteristic amplitude.

Testing strong gravity with gravitational waves and Love numbers [PDF]

, 2017
The LIGO observation of GW150914 has inaugurated the gravitational-wave astronomy era and the possibility of testing gravity in extreme regimes. While distorted black holes are the most convincing sources of gravitational waves, similar signals might be ...

Timescales for Detection of Super-Chandrasekhar White Dwarfs by Gravitational-wave Astronomy [PDF]

Astrophysical Journal, 2020
Over the past two decades, the inference of the violation of the Chandrasekhar mass limit of white dwarfs (WDs) from indirect observation has been a revolutionary discovery in astronomy.

3D characterization of low optical absorption structures in large crystalline sapphire substrates for gravitational wave detectors

Scientific Reports, 2021
Very high-quality sapphire substrates are key elements of the cryogenic Japanese gravitational interferometer KAGRA, in which they are used to build the main mirrors, working as the test masses to sense the gravitational waves.

Gravitational-wave astronomy with an uncertain noise power spectral density [PDF]

Physical Review Research, 2020
In order to extract information about the properties of compact binaries, we must estimate the noise power spectral density of gravitational-wave data, which depends on the properties of the gravitational-wave detector. In practice, it is not possible to

Quantum-Enhanced Advanced LIGO Detectors in the Era of Gravitational-Wave Astronomy.

Physical Review Letters, 2019
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) has been directly detecting gravitational waves from compact binary mergers since 2015. We report on the first use of squeezed vacuum states in the direct measurement of gravitational waves ...
