Bose-Einstein Condensate Dark Matter in the Core of Neutron Stars: Implications for Gravitational-wave Observations

Samanwaya Mukherjee, P. S. Aswathi, Chiranjeeb Singha +1

We investigate neutron stars admixed with dark matter (DM) in the form of a finite-temperature Bos-Einstein condensate (BEC) within a general relativistic two-fluid framework in wh…

Unveiling Microlensing Biases in Testing General Relativity with Gravitational Waves

Anuj Mishra, N. V. Krishnendu, Apratim Ganguly

Gravitational waves (GW) from chirping binary black holes (BBHs) provide unique opportunities to test general relativity (GR) in the strong-field regime. However, testing GR can be…

Follow-up Analyses to the O3 LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Lensing Searches

Justin Janquart, Mick Wright, Srashti Goyal +28

Along their path from source to observer, gravitational waves may be gravitationally lensed by massive objects. This results in distortions of the observed signal which can be used…

Search for gravitational-lensing signatures in the full third observing run of the LIGO-Virgo network

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1692

Gravitational lensing by massive objects along the line of sight to the source causes distortions of gravitational wave-signals; such distortions may reveal information about funda…

Detection and parameter estimation challenges of Type-II lensed binary black hole signals

Aditya Vijaykumar, Ajit Kumar Mehta, Apratim Ganguly

Strong lensing of {gravitational-wave signals} can produce three types of images, denoted as Type-I, Type-II and Type-III, corresponding to the minima, saddle and maxima of the len…

Narrowband searches for continuous and long-duration transient gravitational waves from known pulsars in the LIGO-Virgo third observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1658

Isolated neutron stars that are asymmetric with respect to their spin axis are possible sources of detectable continuous gravitational waves. This paper presents a fully-coherent s…

Search of the Early O3 LIGO Data for Continuous Gravitational Waves from the Cassiopeia A and Vela Jr. Supernova Remnants

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1411

We present directed searches for continuous gravitational waves from the neutron stars in the Cassiopeia A (Cas A) and Vela Jr. supernova remnants. We carry out the searches in the…

Constraints on compact dark matter from gravitational wave microlensing

S. Basak, A. Ganguly, K. Haris +3

If a significant fraction of dark matter is in the form of compact objects, they will cause microlensing effects in the gravitational wave (GW) signals observable by LIGO and Virgo…
