Precision tracking of massive black hole spin evolution with LISA
Geraint Pratten, Patricia Schmidt, Hannah Middleton +1
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will play a vital role in constraining the origin and evolution of massive black holes throughout the Universe. In this study we use a…
Practical approaches to analyzing PTA data: Cosmic strings with six pulsars
Hippolyte Quelquejay Leclere, Pierre Auclair, Stanislav Babak +69
We search for a stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) generated by a network of cosmic strings using six millisecond pulsars from Data Release 2 (DR2) of the European Pul…
Searching for continuous Gravitational Waves in the second data release of the International Pulsar Timing Array
M. Falxa, S. Babak, P. T. Baker +123
The International Pulsar Timing Array 2nd data release is the combination of datasets from worldwide collaborations. In this study, we search for continuous waves: gravitational wa…
On the LISA science performance in observations of short-lived signals from massive black hole binary coalescences
Geraint Pratten, Antoine Klein, Christopher J. Moore +4
The observation of massive black hole binary systems is one of the main science objectives of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). The instrument's design requirements ha…
Assessing gravitational-wave binary black hole candidates with Bayesian odds
Geraint Pratten, Alberto Vecchio
Gravitational waves from the coalescence of binary black holes can be distinguished from noise transients in a detector network through Bayesian model selection by exploiting the c…
On tests of general relativity with binary radio pulsars
Walter Del Pozzo, Alberto Vecchio
The timing of radio pulsars in binary systems provides a superb testing ground of general relativity. Here we propose a Bayesian approach to carry out these tests, and a relevant e…
