The Sun can flip the shielding effect of added spacecraft mass

Yasser Maghrbi, Nelson Christensen

Spacecraft structure is usually treated as shielding against energetic particles. We find that the Sun can reverse the effect of adding that structure. Free-falling test masses are…

Bayesian P-spline recovery of stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds in LISA

Nazeela Aimen, Patricio Maturana-Russel, Avi Vajpeyi +2

The detection of a stochastic gravitational-wave background (SGWB) is a primary science objective for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). However, extracting these signa…

Say Hello, Wave Goodbye: Gravitational Waves from Hyperbolic PBH-SMBH Interactions

Laura Burn, Nelson Christensen, Richard Easther

Primordial black holes (PBHs) formed in the early Universe remain a viable dark matter candidate. Since dark matter is expected to be concentrated toward galactic centres, a signif…

Bayesian nonparametric estimation of correlated gravitational wave detector network noise using matrix-gamma process priors

Yixuan Liu, Renate Meyer, Nelson Christensen +4

This paper addresses the important problem of estimating the noise spectral density of next-generation gravitational-wave detectors, such as LISA and the Einstein Telescope (ET), w…

Parameter Estimation on LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA O4a Binary Merger Triggers with Sub-solar Mass Components

Nelson Christensen, Neil Cornish, Florian Kühnel +2

The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration has reported the results for searches for sub-solar mass components in compact binary coalescence during observing run O4a. No detection candidat…

Bayesian power spectral density estimation for LISA noise based on penalized splines with a parametric boost

Nazeela Aimen, Patricio Maturana-Russel, Avi Vajpeyi +2

Flexible and accurate noise characterization is crucial for the precise estimation of gravitational-wave parameters. We introduce a Bayesian method for estimating the power spectra…
