Gravitational wave detectors

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2005
The existence of gravitational radiation is a prediction of Einstein's general theory of relativity. Gravitational waves are perturbations in the curvature of spacetime caused by accelerated masses. Since the 1960s gravitational wave detectors have been built and constantly improved.

The First Detection of Gravitational Waves

open access: yesUniverse, 2017
This article deals with the first detection of gravitational waves by the advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors on 14 September 2015, where the signal was generated by two stellar mass black holes with masses 36

Probing the gravitational wave background from cosmic strings with the alternative LISA-TAIJI network

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2023
As one of the detection targets of all gravitational wave detectors today, the stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) provides an important means of understanding the evolution of our universe.

Barrow entropy and stochastic gravitational wave background generated from cosmological QCD phase transition

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2023
In this work we investigate the stochastic gravitational wave background generated during the first-order cosmological QCD phase transition of the early universe in the framework of the Barrow entropy.

Implementation of an Efficient Bayesian Search for Gravitational-wave Bursts with Memory in Pulsar Timing Array Data

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The standard Bayesian technique for searching pulsar timing data for gravitational-wave bursts with memory (BWMs) using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling is very computationally expensive to perform. In this paper, we explain the implementation of

Lensing Magnification Seen by Gravitational Wave Detectors

open access: yesUniverse, 2021
In this paper, we studied the gravitational lensing of gravitational wave events. The probability that an observed gravitational wave source has been (de-)amplified by a given amount is a detector-dependent quantity which depends on different ingredients:

China’s first step towards probing the expanding universe and the nature of gravity using a space borne gravitational wave antenna

open access: yesCommunications Physics, 2021
Gravitational wave astronomy has opened the door to test general relativity and the effect of gravity in the Universe. The authors present the capabilities of an overlap between space gravitational wave detectors LISA and Taiji to constrain the Hubble ...

Pulsars as Weber gravitational wave detectors

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2019
A gravitational wave (GW) passing through a pulsar will lead to a variation in the moment of inertia of the pulsar affecting its rotation. This will affect the extremely accurately measured spin rate of the pulsar as well as its pulse profile (due to ...
