Probing magnetic fields of compact objects with continuous gravitational waves
Gopalkrishna Prabhu, Aditya Kumar Sharma, R. Prasad +2
Spinning, deformed compact objects such as neutron stars are canonical sources of continuous gravitational waves. These objects may be born with magnetic fields that can strongly i…
Could the high-mass black holes from gravitational-wave observations be explained by lensing?
Ritesh Harshe, R. Prasad, Parameswaran Ajith
The high-mass () black holes (BHs) from the gravitational-wave (GW) observations of LIGO and Virgo came as a surprise to many astronomers. While the collapse…
The Lunar Gravitational-wave Antenna: Mission Studies and Science Case
Parameswaran Ajith, Pau Amaro Seoane, Manuel Arca Sedda +83
The Lunar Gravitational-wave Antenna (LGWA) is a proposed array of next-generation inertial sensors to monitor the response of the Moon to gravitational waves (GWs). Given the size…
Constraining the abundance of spinning deformed Galactic compact objects with continuous gravitational waves
Gopalkrishna Prabhu, Aditya Kumar Sharma, R. Prasad +1
Galactic spinning compact objects (COs) with non-zero ellipticity are expected to be sources of continuous gravitational waves (CGWs). Certain classes of hypothetical COs, such as…
