Reducing the Virgo site infrastructure noise in preparation of the O4 observing run

Irene Fiori, Federico Paoletti, Roberto Passaquieti +5

The heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems serving the experimental halls of the Virgo gravitational wave interferometer generate low-frequency noise - namely below 100…

py5vec: a modular Python package for the 5-vector method to search for continuous gravitational waves

Luca D'Onofrio, Federico Muciaccia, Lorenzo Mirasola +7

We present \texttt{py5vec}, a Python package for implementing and extending the 5-vector method, used to search for continuous gravitational wave (CW) signals. We also provide a co…

Method to search for inspiraling planetary-mass ultra-compact binaries using the generalized frequency-Hough transform in LIGO O3a data

Andrew L. Miller, Nancy Aggarwal, Sebastien Clesse +6

Gravitational waves from sub-solar mass primordial black holes could be detected in LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA data. Here, we apply a method originally designed to look for rapidly spin…

Probing new light gauge bosons with gravitational-wave interferometers using an adapted semi-coherent method

Andrew L. Miller, Pia Astone, Giacomo Bruno +12

We adapt a method, originally developed for searches for quasi-monochromatic, quasi-infinite gravitational-wave signals, to directly detect new light gauge bosons with laser interf…
