A semicoherent resampling method for long-transient gravitational wave searches with applications to subsolar-mass primordial black-hole binaries
Neil Lu, Cristiano Palomba, Ornella J. Piccinni +1
Resampling removes the modeled phase evolution of a frequency-evolving signal, transforming it into a monochromatic one. We introduce a novel implementation for long-transient grav…

Optimising ultra-light dark matter searches with ground-based interferometers
Paola C. M. Delgado, Ornella J. Piccinni, Federico R. Urban
Ultra-light dark matter fields induce nearly monochromatic signals in gravitational-wave detectors through their coupling to the Standard Model. Their spectral morphology exhibits…

We present the results of directed searches for continuous gravitational waves from unknown neutron stars in five Milky Way globular clusters. We carry out these searches in the LI…
GW250114 reveals black hole horizon signatures
Neil Lu, Sizheng Ma, Ornella J. Piccinni +2
The horizon of a black hole, the "surface of no return", is characterized by its rotation frequency and surface gravity . A striking signature is that any infalling object…
Statistical identification of ringdown modes with rational filters

Methodology for constraining ultralight vector bosons with gravitational wave searches targeting merger remnant black holes
Dana Jones, Nils Siemonsen, Ling Sun +4
Ultralight bosons are a hypothetical class of particles predicted under various extensions of Standard Model physics. As a result of the superradiance mechanism, we expect ultralig…
