Popcorn in the sky: Identifying primordial black holes in the gravitational-wave background
Eleni Bagui, Sébastien Clesse, Federico De Lillo +2
Primordial black holes (PBHs) are possible sources of a gravitational-wave background (GWB), detectable with the next observing runs of LIGO--Virgo--KAGRA. In case of a detection,…
Probing Cosmic Expansion and Early Universe with Einstein Telescope
Angelo Ricciardone, Mairi Sakellariadou, Archisman Ghosh +52
Over the next two decades, gravitational-wave (GW) observations are expected to evolve from a discovery-driven endeavour into a precision tool for astrophysics, cosmology, and fund…
Bridging the micro-Hz gravitational wave gap via Doppler tracking with the Uranus Orbiter and Probe Mission: Massive black hole binaries, early universe signals and ultra-light dark matter
Lorenz Zwick, Deniz Soyuer, Daniel J. D'Orazio +6
With the recent announcement by NASA's \textit{Planetary Science and Astrobiology Decadal Survey 2023-2032}, a priority flagship mission to the planet Uranus is anticipated. Here,…
The Science of the Einstein Telescope
Adrian Abac, Raul Abramo, Simone Albanesi +485
Einstein Telescope (ET) is the European project for a gravitational-wave (GW) observatory of third-generation. In this paper we present a comprehensive discussion of its science ob…
