Evolution of human cognition required Einstein's gravitational waves

Bernard F. Schutz, Tsvi Piran, Patrick J. Sutton

We describe an unexpected anthropic fine-tuning of gravity: human cognition arose on Earth only because the laws of gravity included gravitational waves. Their link is the heat fro…

All-sky search in early O3 LIGO data for continuous gravitational-wave signals from unknown neutron stars in binary systems

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1369

Rapidly spinning neutron stars are promising sources of persistent, continuous gravitational waves. Detecting such a signal would allow probing of the physical properties of matter…

Prospects for Fundamental Physics with LISA

Enrico Barausse, Emanuele Berti, Thomas Hertog +318

In this paper, which is of programmatic rather than quantitative nature, we aim to further delineate and sharpen the future potential of the LISA mission in the area of fundamental…

Bayesian Inference Analysis of Unmodelled Gravitational-Wave Transients

Francesco Pannarale, Ronaldas Macas, Patrick J. Sutton

We report the results of an in-depth analysis of the parameter estimation capabilities of BayesWave, an algorithm for the reconstruction of gravitational-wave signals without refer…

The Transient Gravitational-Wave Sky

Nils Andersson, John Baker, Kris Belczynski +44

Interferometric detectors will very soon give us an unprecedented view of the gravitational-wave sky, and in particular of the explosive and transient Universe. Now is the time to…
