The optimal search for an astrophysical gravitational-wave background
Rory Smith, Eric Thrane
Roughly every 2-10 minutes, a pair of stellar mass black holes merge somewhere in the Universe. A small fraction of these mergers are detected as individually resolvable gravitatio…
Challenges testing the no-hair theorem with gravitational waves
Eric Thrane, Paul Lasky, Yuri Levin
General relativity's no-hair theorem states that isolated astrophysical black holes are described by only two numbers: mass and spin. As a consequence, there are strict relationshi…
Polarization-based Tests of Gravity with the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background
Thomas Callister, A. Sylvia Biscoveanu, Nelson Christensen +7
The direct observation of gravitational waves with Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo offers novel opportunities to test general relativity in strong-field, highly dynamical regimes.…
