The last three years: multiband gravitational-wave observations of stellar-mass binary black holes

Antoine Klein, Geraint Pratten, Riccardo Buscicchio +10

Understanding the formation and evolution of the stellar-mass binary black holes discovered by LIGO and Virgo is a challenge that spans many areas of astrophysics, from stellar evo…

Common-red-signal analysis with 24-yr high-precision timing of the European Pulsar Timing Array: Inferences in the stochastic gravitational-wave background search

S. Chen, R. N. Caballero, Y. J. Guo +49

We present results from the search for a stochastic gravitational-wave background (GWB) as predicted by the theory of General Relativity using six radio millisecond pulsars from th…

High mass but low spin: an exclusion region to rule out hierarchical black-hole mergers as a mechanism to populate the pair-instability mass gap

Davide Gerosa, Nicola Giacobbo, Alberto Vecchio

The occurrence of pair-instability supernovae is predicted to prevent the formation of black holes with masses . Recent gravitational-wave detections in this ma…

Massive black hole binary systems and the NANOGrav 12.5 year results

Hannah Middleton, Alberto Sesana, Siyuan Chen +3

The North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) has recently reported evidence for the presence of a common stochastic signal across their array of puls…

Constraining the lensing of binary neutron stars from their stochastic background

Riccardo Buscicchio, Christopher J. Moore, Geraint Pratten +2

Gravitational wave (GW) transients from binary neutron star (BNS) coalescences can, in principle, be subject to gravitational lensing thereby increasing the amplitude and signal-to…

Gravitational-wave selection effects using neural-network classifiers

Davide Gerosa, Geraint Pratten, Alberto Vecchio

We present a novel machine-learning approach to estimate selection effects in gravitational-wave observations. Using techniques similar to those commonly employed in image classifi…
