Probing Cosmic Expansion and Early Universe with Einstein Telescope
Angelo Ricciardone, Mairi Sakellariadou, Archisman Ghosh +52
Over the next two decades, gravitational-wave (GW) observations are expected to evolve from a discovery-driven endeavour into a precision tool for astrophysics, cosmology, and fund…
ESO Expanding Horizon White Paper: Revealing the properties of matter at supranuclear densities with gravitational waves
Tim Dietrich, Tanja Hinderer, Micaela Oertel +40
Understanding dense matter under extreme conditions is one of the most fundamental puzzles in modern physics. Complex interactions give rise to emergent, collective phenomena. Whil…
Uncovering the population of compact binary mergers and their formation pathways with gravitational waves through the Einstein Telescope
M. Arca-Sedda, I. Dvorkin, G. Franciolini +19
Ground-based gravitational-wave (GW) observatories have transformed our view of compact-object mergers, yet their reach still limits a comprehensive reconstruction of the processes…
Confusion noise from astrophysical backgrounds at third-generation gravitational-wave detector networks
Enis Belgacem, Francesco Iacovelli, Michele Maggiore +2
At third-generation (3G) gravitational-wave detector networks, compact binaries coalescences produce a ``confusion noise'' due to unresolved sources and to the error in the reconst…
Comparison of global networks of third-generation gravitational-wave detectors
Michele Maggiore, Francesco Iacovelli, Enis Belgacem +2
We study the performances of a world-wide network made by a European third-generation gravitational-wave (GW) detector, together with a 40km Cosmic Explorer detector in the US, con…
The spectral density of astrophysical stochastic backgrounds
Enis Belgacem, Francesco Iacovelli, Michele Maggiore +2
We provide a detailed derivation of the spectral density of the stochastic background generated by the superposition of coalescing compact binaries. We show how the expression ofte…
