The tidal response of a relativistic star

Nils Andersson, Rhys Counsell, Fabian Gittins +1

We develop a fully relativistic approach for determining the response of a compact star to a time/frequency dependent (tidal) environment. The strategy involves matching the soluti…

Directional Search for Persistent Gravitational Waves: Results from the First Part of LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA's Fourth Observing Run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1765

The angular distribution of gravitational-wave power from persistent sources may exhibit anisotropies arising from the large-scale structure of the Universe. This motivates directi…

GW250114: testing Hawking's area law and the Kerr nature of black holes

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1785

The gravitational-wave signal GW250114 was observed by the two LIGO detectors with a network matched-filter signal-to-noise ratio of 80. The signal was emitted by the coalescence o…

Overlapping signals in next-generation gravitational wave observatories: A recipe for selecting the best parameter estimation technique

Tomasz Baka, Harsh Narola, Justin Janquart +3

Third-generation gravitational wave detectors such as Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer will have significantly better sensitivities than current detectors, as well as a wider…

Inflaton perturbations through an Ultra-Slow Roll transition and Hamilton-Jacobi attractors

Tomislav Prokopec, Gerasimos Rigopoulos

We examine the behaviour of the gauge invariant scalar field perturbations in an analytic inflationary model that transitions from slow-roll to an ultra-slow-roll (USR) phase. We f…

Interface modes in inspiralling neutron stars: A gravitational-wave probe of first-order phase transitions

A. R. Counsell, F. Gittins, N. Andersson +1

At the extreme densities in neutron stars, a phase transition to deconfined quark matter is anticipated. Yet masses, radii and tidal deformabilities offer only indirect measures of…
