Advanced Virgo Plus for O5 -- Design Report Overview
F. Acernese, A. Agapito, D. Agarwal +578
This document presents an overview of the design, implementation, and expected performance of the Advanced Virgo Plus (AdV+) upgrades in view of the O5 observing run. Following the…
Polar magnetic fields in black-hole space-times
Richard Kerner, Gideon Koekoek, Julia Schuring +1
To model magnetic fields of compact objects we solve the Maxwell equations in the background of the exterior static Schwarzschild and slowly rotating Kerr space-times. We impose th…
Hybrid Quantum Singular Spectrum Decomposition for Time Series Analysis
Jasper Johannes Postema, Pietro Bonizzi, Gideon Koekoek +2
Classical data analysis requires computational efforts that become intractable in the age of Big Data. An essential task in time series analysis is the extraction of physically mea…
Virgo Detector Characterization and Data Quality: tools
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +491
Detector characterization and data quality studies -- collectively referred to as {\em DetChar} activities in this article -- are paramount to the scientific exploitation of the jo…
Virgo Detector Characterization and Data Quality: results from the O3 run
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +491
The Advanced Virgo detector has contributed with its data to the rapid growth of the number of detected gravitational-wave (GW) signals in the past few years, alongside the two Adv…
ETpathfinder: a cryogenic testbed for interferometric gravitational-wave detectors
A. Utina, A. Amato, J. Arends +112
The third-generation of gravitational wave observatories, such as the Einstein Telescope (ET) and Cosmic Explorer (CE), aim for an improvement in sensitivity of at least a factor o…
Determining the equation of state of neutron stars with Einstein Telescope using tidal effects and r-mode excitations from a population of binary inspirals
Pawan Kumar Gupta, Anna Puecher, Peter T. H. Pang +3
Third-generation gravitational wave (GW) observatories such as Einstein Telescope (ET) and Cosmic Explorer (CE) will be ideal instruments to probe the structure of neutron stars th…
Virgo Detector Characterization and Data Quality during the O3 run
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +491
The Advanced Virgo detector has contributed with its data to the rapid growth of the number of detected gravitational-wave signals in the past few years, alongside the two LIGO ins…
The Virgo O3 run and the impact of the environment
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +486
Sources of geophysical noise (such as wind, sea waves and earthquakes) or of anthropogenic noise impact ground-based gravitational-wave interferometric detectors, causing transient…
The path to Special Relativity
Gideon Koekoek, Jan W. van Holten, Urs Wyder
Following an early observation of Ignatowsky, we present a derivation of the transformation rules between inertial systems making no other assumptions than the existence of the lat…
Bounding dark charges on binary black holes using gravitational waves
Pawan Kumar Gupta, Thomas F. M. Spieksma, Peter T. H. Pang +2
In models of minicharged dark matter associated with a hidden symmetry, astrophysical black holes may acquire a "dark" charge, in such a way that the inspiral dynamics of bi…
Searching for ring-like structures in the Cosmic Microwave Background
Melissa Lopez, Pietro Bonizzi, Kurt Driessens +3
In this research, we present an alternative methodology to search for ring-like structures in the sky with unusually large temperature gradients, namely Hawking points (HP), in the…
Modeling and detecting resonant tides of exotic compact objects
Kwinten Fransen, Gideon Koekoek, Rob Tielemans +1
The event horizon of a black hole in general relativity absorbs all infalling radiation. Any observation of the contrary would immediately challenge the expectation that astrophysi…
A standard siren measurement of the Hubble constant from GW170817 without the electromagnetic counterpart
M. Fishbach, R. Gray, I. Magaña Hernandez +316
We perform a statistical standard siren analysis of GW170817. Our analysis does not utilize knowledge of NGC 4993 as the unique host galaxy of the optical counterpart to GW170817.…
Geodesic deviations: modeling extreme mass-ratio systems and their gravitational waves
G. Koekoek, J. W. van Holten
The method of geodesic deviations has been applied to derive accurate analytic approximations to geodesics in Schwarzschild space-time. The results are used to construct analytic e…
Epicycles and Poincaré Resonances in General Relativity
G. Koekoek, J. W. van Holten
The method of geodesic deviations provides analytic approximations to geodesics in arbitrary background space-times. As such the method is a useful tool in many practical situation…
