Particle emission and gravitational radiation from cosmic strings: observational constraints
P. Auclair, D. A. Steer, T. Vachaspati
We account for particle emission and gravitational radiation from cosmic string loops to determine their effect on the loop distribution and observational signatures of strings. Th…
Probing the gravitational wave background from cosmic strings with LISA
Pierre Auclair, Jose J. Blanco-Pillado, Daniel G. Figueroa +8
Cosmic string networks offer one of the best prospects for detection of cosmological gravitational waves (GWs). The combined incoherent GW emission of a large number of string loop…
Cosmological Inference using Gravitational Wave Standard Sirens: A Mock Data Challenge
Rachel Gray, Ignacio Magaña Hernandez, Hong Qi +12
The observation of binary neutron star merger GW170817, along with its optical counterpart, provided the first constraint on the Hubble constant using gravitational wave stan…
Cosmic string loop production functions
Pierre Auclair, Christophe Ringeval, Mairi Sakellariadou +1
Numerical simulations of Nambu-Goto cosmic strings in an expanding universe show that the loop distribution relaxes to an universal configuration, the so-called scaling regime, whi…
All-sky search for continuous gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars using Advanced LIGO O2 data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1130
We present results of an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves (CWs), which can be produced by fast-spinning neutron stars with an asymmetry around their rotation axis,…
