Towards Robust Gravitational Wave Detection with Pulsar Timing Arrays
Neil J. Cornish, Laura M. Sampson
Precision timing of highly stable milli-second pulsars is a promising technique for the detection of very low frequency sources of gravitational waves. In any single pulsar, a stoc…
Constraining the Solution to the Last Parsec Problem with Pulsar Timing
Laura Sampson, Neil J. Cornish, Sean T. McWilliams
The detection of a stochastic gravitational-wave signal from the superposition of many inspiraling supermassive black holes with pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) is likely to occur with…
Projected Constraints on Scalarization with Gravitational Waves from Neutron Star Binaries
Laura Sampson, Nicolas Yunes, Neil Cornish +5
Certain scalar-tensor theories have the property of endowing stars with scalar hair, sourced either by the star's own compactness (spontaneous scalarization) or, for binary systems…
Mis-Modelling in Gravitational Wave Astronomy: The Trouble With Templates
Laura Sampson, Neil Cornish, Nicolas Yunes
Waveform templates are a powerful tool for extracting and characterizing gravitational wave signals, acting as highly restrictive priors on the signal morphologies that allow us to…
A Rosetta Stone for Parameterized Tests of Gravity
Laura Sampson, Nicolas Yunes, Neil Cornish
Several model-independent parameterizations of deviations from General Relativity have been developed to test Einstein's theory. Although these different parameterizations were dev…
Gravitational Wave Tests of Strong Field General Relativity with Binary Inspirals: Realistic Injections and Optimal Model Selection
Laura Sampson, Neil Cornish, Nicolas Yunes
We study generic tests of strong-field General Relativity using gravitational waves emitted during the inspiral of compact binaries. Previous studies have considered simple extensi…
