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…
Comparison of global networks of third-generation gravitational-wave detectors
Michele Maggiore, Francesco Iacovelli, Enis Belgacem +2
We study the performances of a world-wide network made by a European third-generation gravitational-wave (GW) detector, together with a 40km Cosmic Explorer detector in the US, con…
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…
The spectral density of astrophysical stochastic backgrounds
Enis Belgacem, Francesco Iacovelli, Michele Maggiore +2
We provide a detailed derivation of the spectral density of the stochastic background generated by the superposition of coalescing compact binaries. We show how the expression ofte…
Analytical results for the power-law sensitivity curve of stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds
Enis Belgacem
We derive analytically some general features of the power-law sensitivity curve. They include an exact parametric equation, a formula for the peak sensitivity and a proof of convex…
