Advanced Virgo during the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA fourth observing run
Virgo Collaboration, F Acernese, A Agapito +546
From April 10, 2024 to November 18, 2025 Advanced Virgo participated in the fourth observing run of the network of gravitational-wave detectors, together with Advanced LIGO and KAG…
A thorough investigation of cross-correlation estimators for stochastic gravitational-wave background searches in ground-based detector data
Haowen Zhong, Joseph D. Romano, Vuk Mandic +2
Detecting a stochastic gravitational-wave background represents a crucial yet challenging objective within the field of gravitational-wave astronomy. Ground-based detectors current…
Impact of facility timing and coordination for next-generation gravitational-wave detectors
Ssohrab Borhanian, Arianna Renzini, Philippa S. Cole +3
While the Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer proposals for next-generation, ground-based detectors promise vastly improved sensitivities to gravitational-wave signals, only joi…
Searching for Gravitational Waves with Gaia and its Cross-Correlation with PTA: Absolute vs Relative Astrometry
Massimo Vaglio, Mikel Falxa, Giorgio Mentasti +5
Astrometric missions like Gaia provide exceptionally precise measurements of stellar positions and proper motions. Gravitational waves traveling between the observer and distant st…
Model-agnostic gravitational-wave background characterization algorithm
Taylor Knapp, Patrick M. Meyers, Arianna I. Renzini
As ground-based gravitational-wave (GW) detectors improve in sensitivity, gravitational-wave background (GWB) signals will progressively become detectable. Currently, searches for…
Accelerated inference of binary black-hole populations from the stochastic gravitational-wave background
G. Giarda, A. I. Renzini, C. Pacilio +1
Third-generation ground-based gravitational wave detectors are expected to observe of overlapping signals per year from a multitude of astrophysical sources tha…
The Science of the Einstein Telescope
Adrian Abac, Raul Abramo, Simone Albanesi +485
Einstein Telescope (ET) is the European project for a gravitational-wave (GW) observatory of third-generation. In this paper we present a comprehensive discussion of its science ob…
pygwb: Python-based library for gravitational-wave background searches
Arianna I. Renzini, Alba Romero-Rodrguez, Colm Talbot +31
The collection of gravitational waves (GWs) that are either too weak or too numerous to be individually resolved is commonly referred to as the gravitational-wave background (GWB).…
A stochastic search for intermittent gravitational-wave backgrounds
Jessica Lawrence, Kevin Turbang, Andrew Matas +3
A likely source of a gravitational-wave background (GWB) in the frequency band of the Advanced LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA detectors is the superposition of signals from the population o…
Model-independent search for anisotropies in stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds and application to LIGO-Virgo's first three observing Runs
Liting Xiao, Arianna I. Renzini, Alan J. Weinstein
A stochastic gravitational-wave (GW) background consists of a large number of weak, independent and uncorrelated events of astrophysical or cosmological origin. The GW power on the…
Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Backgrounds: Current Detection Efforts and Future Prospects
Arianna I. Renzini, Boris Goncharov, Alexander C. Jenkins +1
The collection of individually resolvable gravitational wave (GW) events makes up a tiny fraction of all GW signals which reach our detectors, while most lie below the confusion li…
Legacy of the First Workshop on Gravitational Wave Astrophysics for Early Career Scientists
Jean-Baptiste Bayle, Béatrice Bonga, Daniela Doneva +15
Gravitational wave science is a dynamical, fast-expanding research field founded on results, tools and methodologies drawn from different research areas and communities. Early care…
Comparison of maximum likelihood mapping methods for gravitational-wave backgrounds
Arianna I. Renzini, Joseph D. Romano, Carlo R. Contaldi +1
Detection of a stochastic background of gravitational waves is likely to occur in the next few years. Beyond searches for the isotropic component of SGWBs, there have been various…
Improved limits on a stochastic gravitational-wave background and its anisotropies from Advanced LIGO O1 and O2 runs
Arianna Renzini, Carlo Contaldi
We integrate the entire, publicly available, Advanced LIGO (ALIGO) data set to obtain maximum-likelihood constraint maps of the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background (SGWB). Fro…
Mapping weak lensing distortions in the Kerr metric
Arianna I. Renzini, Carlo R. Contaldi, Alan Heavens
Einstein's theory of General Relativity implies that energy, i.e. matter, curves space-time and thus deforms lightlike geodesics, giving rise to gravitational lensing. This phenome…
