How to Detect an Astrophysical Nanohertz Gravitational-Wave Background
Bence Bécsy, Neil J. Cornish, Patrick M. Meyers +93
Analysis of pulsar timing data have provided evidence for a stochastic gravitational wave background in the nHz frequency band. The most plausible source of such a background is th…
The NANOGrav 12.5-year Data Set: Search for Gravitational Wave Memory
Gabriella Agazie, Zaven Arzoumanian, Paul T. Baker +87
We present the results of a Bayesian search for gravitational wave (GW) memory in the NANOGrav 12.5-yr data set. We find no convincing evidence for any gravitational wave memory si…
Searching for continuous Gravitational Waves in the second data release of the International Pulsar Timing Array
M. Falxa, S. Babak, P. T. Baker +123
The International Pulsar Timing Array 2nd data release is the combination of datasets from worldwide collaborations. In this study, we search for continuous waves: gravitational wa…
The NANOGrav 12.5-year data set: Search for Non-Einsteinian Polarization Modes in theGravitational-Wave Background
Zaven Arzoumanian, Paul T. Baker, Harsha Blumer +68
We search NANOGrav's 12.5-year data set for evidence of a gravitational wave background (GWB) with all the spatial correlations allowed by general metric theories of gravity. We fi…
Parameter estimation for heavy binary-black holes with networks of second-generation gravitational-wave detectors
Salvatore Vitale, Ryan Lynch, Vivien Raymond +3
The era of gravitational-wave astronomy has started with the discovery of the binary black hole coalescences (BBH) GW150914 and GW151226 by the LIGO instruments. These systems allo…
An information-theoretic approach to the gravitational-wave burst detection problem
Ryan Lynch, Salvatore Vitale, Reed Essick +2
The observational era of gravitational-wave astronomy began in the Fall of 2015 with the detection of GW150914. One potential type of detectable gravitational wave is short-duratio…
