An Upper Limit on the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background of Cosmological Origin

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration

A stochastic background of gravitational waves is expected to arise from a superposition of a large number of unresolved gravitational-wave sources of astrophysical and cosmologica…

Conformally curved binary black hole initial data including tidal deformations and outgoing radiation

Nathan K. Johnson-McDaniel, Nicolas Yunes, Wolfgang Tichy +1

(Abridged) By asymptotically matching a post-Newtonian (PN) metric to two tidally perturbed Schwarzschild metrics, we generate approximate initial data (in the form of a 4-metric)…

Stacking Gravitational Wave Signals from Soft Gamma Repeater Bursts

P. Kalmus, K. C. Cannon, S. Marka +1

Soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) have unique properties that make them intriguing targets for gravitational wave (GW) searches. They are nearby, their burst emission mechanism may invol…
