All You Need is not : Beyond the Mean of the Cross-Correlation Estimator when Searching for an Astrophysical Gravitational-Wave Background
Haowen Zhong, Francesco Iacovelli, Vuk Mandic +1
Searches for the stochastic gravitational-wave background (SGWB) using ground-based detectors rely heavily on the cross-correlation estimator , whose statistical properti…
Improving low-latency multi-messenger follow-up of neutron star-black hole mergers with mode-by-mode filtering
Francesco Iacovelli, Digvijay Wadekar, Javier Roulet +2
Rapid parameter estimation for neutron star-black hole (NSBH) mergers is essential for deciding whether, where, and how electromagnetic facilities should follow up gravitational-wa…
The geometry of lunar gravitational wave detection
Jacopo Tissino, Filippo Santoliquido, Francesco Iacovelli +9
The Lunar Gravitational Wave Antenna (LGWA) is a planned gravitational wave detector on the Moon, targeting the deci-Hertz band and expected to deliver breakthrough discoveries acr…
Not too close! Evaluating the impact of the baseline on the localization of binary black holes by next-generation gravitational-wave detectors
Francesco Iacovelli, Luca Reali, Emanuele Berti +3
Next-generation (XG) gravitational-wave detectors, such as Cosmic Explorer (CE) and the Einstein Telescope (ET), will observe compact binary coalescences at unprecedented rates and…
What does the Universe sound like?
Francesco Iacovelli
Unlike electromagnetic telescopes, gravitational-wave (GW) detectors cannot produce pretty pictures, but we can convert GW signals into sound. I compute what the Universe actually…
deci-Hz Gravitational Wave Observations on the Moon and Beyond
Emanuele Berti, Marica Branchesi, Alessandra Buonanno +21
This document summarizes talks and discussions from the workshop "deci-Hz Gravitational Wave Observations on the Moon and Beyond" that took place at Johns Hopkins University betwee…
Systematic biases in parameter estimation on LISA binaries. II. The effect of excluding higher harmonics for spin-aligned, high-mass binaries
Sophia Yi, Francesco Iacovelli, Emanuele Berti +4
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will observe massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) with astoundingly high signal-to-noise ratio, leaving parameter estimation with these…
Gravitational-wave parameter estimation to the Moon and back: massive binaries and the case of GW231123
Francesco Iacovelli, Jacopo Tissino, Jan Harms +1
We study the prospects of the Lunar Gravitational-Wave Antenna (LGWA), a proposed deci-Hz GW detector, to observe binary black holes (BBHs) and enable multiband science with ground…
Systematic biases from ignoring environmental tidal effects in gravitational wave observations
Valerio De Luca, Loris Del Grosso, Francesco Iacovelli +2
Binary black hole systems are typically assumed to evolve in vacuum. However, the environment surrounding the binary components can influence their properties, such as their tidal…
Systematic biases in parameter estimation on LISA binaries: The effect of excluding higher harmonics for non-spinning binaries
Sophia Yi, Francesco Iacovelli, Sylvain Marsat +2
The remarkable sensitivity achieved by the planned Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will allow us to observe gravitational-wave signals from the mergers of massive black h…
