Swift/UVOT: 18 Years of Long GRB Discoveries and Advances
Universe, 2023 The Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory (Swift) has been in operation for 18 years. The Ultra-Violet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) onboard Swift was designed to capture the earliest optical/UV emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), spanning the first few minutes ...

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.

Attitude-Orbit Coupled Control of Gravitational Wave Detection Spacecraft with Communication Delays
Sensors, 2023 In order to meet the position and attitude requirements of spacecrafts and test masses for gravitational-wave detection missions, the attitude-orbit coordination control of multiple spacecrafts and test masses is studied.

Quantum metrology for gravitational wave astronomy [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2010 Einstein's general theory of relativity predicts that accelerating mass distributions produce gravitational radiation, analogous to electromagnetic radiation from accelerating charges. These gravitational waves (GWs) have not been directly detected to date, but are expected to open a new window to the Universe once the detectors, kilometre-scale laser ...

Evidence for a Correlation between Binary Black Hole Mass Ratio and Black Hole Spins
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The astrophysical origins of the binary black hole systems seen with gravitational waves are still not well understood. However, features in the distribution of black hole masses, spins, redshifts, and eccentricities provide clues into how these systems ...

Introduction to Gravitational Wave Astronomy [PDF]
, 2021 This chapter provides an overview of gravitational wave (GW) astronomy, providing background material that underpins the other, more specialized chapters in this handbook. It starts with a brief historical review of the development of GW astronomy, from Einstein's prediction of GWs in 1916 to the first direct detection in 2015.

A Magnetospheric Dichotomy for Pulsars with Extreme Inclinations
Universe, 2021 In this work, we expand on a comment by Lyne et al. (2017), that intermittent pulsars tend to congregate near a stripe in the logarithmic period versus period-derivative diagram.

Gravitational wave astronomy with TianQin
Reports on Progress in PhysicsAbstract The opening of the gravitational wave window has significantly enhanced our capacity to explore the Universe’s most extreme and dynamic sector. In the mHz frequency range, a diverse range of compact objects, from the most massive black holes at the farthest reaches of the Universe to the lightest white dwarfs in our cosmic ...
