Science with the Einstein Telescope: a comparison of different designs
Marica Branchesi, Michele Maggiore, David Alonso +73
The Einstein Telescope (ET), the European project for a third-generation gravitational-wave detector, has a reference configuration based on a triangular shape consisting of three…
Can gravitational-wave memory help constrain binary black-hole parameters? A LISA case study
Silvia Gasparotto, Rodrigo Vicente, Diego Blas +2
Besides the transient effect, the passage of a gravitational wave also causes a persistent displacement in the relative position of an interferometer's test masses through the \emp…

Detecting stochastic gravitational waves with binary resonance
Diego Blas, Alexander C. Jenkins
LIGO and Virgo have initiated the era of gravitational-wave (GW) astronomy; but in order to fully explore GW frequency spectrum, we must turn our attention to innovative techniques…
Nonlinear gravitational-wave memory from cusps and kinks on cosmic strings
Alexander C. Jenkins, Mairi Sakellariadou
The nonlinear memory effect is a fascinating prediction of general relativity (GR), in which oscillatory gravitational-wave (GW) signals are generically accompanied by a monotonica…
