Adaptive Kernel Density Estimation proposal in gravitational wave data analysis
Mikel Falxa, Stanislav Babak, Maude Le Jeune
Markov Chain Monte Carlo approach is frequently used within Bayesian framework to sample the target posterior distribution. Its efficiency strongly depends on the proposal used to…
LISA Sensitivity and SNR Calculations
Stanislav Babak, Martin Hewitson, Antoine Petiteau
This Technical Note (LISA reference LISA-LCST-SGS-TN-001 v1.1) describes the computation of the noise power spectral density, the sensitivity curve and the signal-to-noise ratio fo…
The Effect of Mission Duration on LISA Science Objectives
Pau Amaro Seoane, Manuel Arca Sedda, Stanislav Babak +38
The science objectives of the LISA mission have been defined under the implicit assumption of a 4 yr continuous data stream. Based on the performance of LISA Pathfinder, it is now…
Characterization of the stochastic signal originating from compact binaries populations as measured by LISA
Nikolaos Karnesis, Stanislav Babak, Mauro Pieroni +2
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission, scheduled for launch in the early 2030s, is a gravitational wave observatory in space designed to detect sources emitting in…
2 Fast 2 Fiducial: Gaussian processes for the interpolation and marginalization of waveform error in extreme-mass-ratio-inspiral parameter estimation
Alvin J. K. Chua, Natalia Korsakova, Christopher J. Moore +2
A number of open problems hinder our present ability to extract scientific information from data that will be gathered by the near-future gravitational-wave mission LISA. Many of t…
French SKA White Book - The French Community towards the Square Kilometre Array
F. Acero, J. -T. Acquaviva, R. Adam +175
The "Square Kilometre Array" (SKA) is a large international radio telescope project characterised, as suggested by its name, by a total collecting area of approximately one square…
All correlations must die: Assessing the significance of a stochastic gravitational-wave background in pulsar-timing arrays
S. R. Taylor, L. Lentati, S. Babak +4
We present two methods for determining the significance of a stochastic gravitational-wave (GW) background affecting a pulsar-timing array, where detection is based on evidence for…
From Spin Noise to Systematics: Stochastic Processes in the First International Pulsar Timing Array Data Release
L. Lentati, R. M. Shannon, W. A. Coles +80
We analyse the stochastic properties of the 49 pulsars that comprise the first International Pulsar Timing Array (IPTA) data release. We use Bayesian methodology, performing model…
The International Pulsar Timing Array: First Data Release
J. P. W. Verbiest, L. Lentati, G. Hobbs +89
The highly stable spin of neutron stars can be exploited for a variety of (astro-)physical investigations. In particular arrays of pulsars with rotational periods of the order of m…
The noise properties of 42 millisecond pulsars from the European Pulsar Timing Array and their impact on gravitational wave searches
R. N. Caballero, K. J. Lee, L. Lentati +36
The sensitivity of Pulsar Timing Arrays to gravitational waves depends on the noise present in the individual pulsar timing data. Noise may be either intrinsic or extrinsic to the…
Narrow-band search of continuous gravitational-wave signals from Crab and Vela pulsars in Virgo VSR4 data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +894
In this paper we present the results of a coherent narrow-band search for continuous gravitational-wave signals from the Crab and Vela pulsars conducted on Virgo VSR4 data. In orde…
Implementation and testing of the first prompt search for gravitational wave transients with electromagnetic counterparts
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +815
Aims. A transient astrophysical event observed in both gravitational wave (GW) and electromagnetic (EM) channels would yield rich scientific rewards. A first program initiating EM…
