One-stop strategy to search for long-duration gravitational-wave signals

Rodrigo Tenorio, Joan-René Mérou, Alicia M. Sintes

Blind continuous gravitational-wave (CWs) searches are a significant computational challenge due to their long duration and weak amplitude of the involved signals. To cope with suc…

Mind the step: On the frequency-domain analysis of gravitational-wave memory waveforms

Jorge Valencia, Rodrigo Tenorio, Maria Rosselló-Sastre +1

Gravitational-wave memory is characterized by a signal component that persists after a transient signal has decayed. Treating such signals in the frequency domain is non-trivial, s…

Toward a computationally-efficient follow-up pipeline for blind continuous gravitational-wave searches

Lorenzo Mirasola, Rodrigo Tenorio

The sensitivity of continuous gravitational-wave (CW) searches for unknown neutron stars (NSs) is limited by their parameter space breadth. To fit within reasonable computing budge…

Assessing the similarity of continuous gravitational-wave signals to narrow instrumental artifacts

Rafel Jaume, Rodrigo Tenorio, Alicia M. Sintes

Continuous gravitational-wave signals (CWs) are long-lasting quasi-monochromatic gravitational-wave signals expected to be emitted by rapidly-rotating non-axisymmetric neutron star…

Blind-search constraints on the sub-kiloparsec population of continuous gravitational-wave sources

Rodrigo Tenorio

We use the latest all-sky continuous gravitational-wave (CW) searches to estimate constraints on the sub-kiloparsec population of unknown neutron stars (NS). We then extend this an…

Search for Gravitational Waves from Scorpius X-1 in LIGO O3 Data With Corrected Orbital Ephemeris

John T. Whelan, Rodrigo Tenorio, Jared K. Wofford +10

Improved observational constraints on the orbital parameters of the low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius~X-1 were recently published in Killestein et al (2023). In the process, errors we…

Prospects for detecting transient quasi-monochromatic gravitational waves from glitching pulsars with current and future detectors

Joan Moragues, Luana M. Modafferi, Rodrigo Tenorio +1

Pulsars are rotating neutron stars that emit periodic electromagnetic radiation. While pulsars generally slow down as they lose energy, some also experience glitches: spontaneous i…

Search methods for continuous gravitational-wave signals from unknown sources in the advanced-detector era

Rodrigo Tenorio, David Keitel, Alicia M. Sintes

Continuous gravitational waves are long-lasting forms of gravitational radiation produced by persistent quadrupolar variations of matter. Standard expected sources for ground-based…
