The NANOGrav 12.5-year Data Set: Search for Gravitational Wave Memory

Gabriella Agazie, Zaven Arzoumanian, Paul T. Baker +87

We present the results of a Bayesian search for gravitational wave (GW) memory in the NANOGrav 12.5-yr data set. We find no convincing evidence for any gravitational wave memory si…

Analytic distribution of the optimal cross-correlation statistic for stochastic gravitational-wave-background searches using pulsar timing arrays

Jeffrey S. Hazboun, Patrick M. Meyers, Joseph D. Romano +2

We show via both analytical calculation and numerical simulation that the optimal cross-correlation statistic (OS) for stochastic gravitational-wave-background (GWB) searches using…

pygwb: Python-based library for gravitational-wave background searches

Arianna I. Renzini, Alba Romero-Rodrguez, Colm Talbot +31

The collection of gravitational waves (GWs) that are either too weak or too numerous to be individually resolved is commonly referred to as the gravitational-wave background (GWB).…

Science with the Einstein Telescope: a comparison of different designs

Marica Branchesi, Michele Maggiore, David Alonso +73

The Einstein Telescope (ET), the European project for a third-generation gravitational-wave detector, has a reference configuration based on a triangular shape consisting of three…

Accurate characterization of the stochastic gravitational-wave background with pulsar timing arrays by likelihood reweighting

Sophie Hourihane, Patrick Meyers, Aaron Johnson +2

An isotropic stochastic background of nanohertz gravitational waves creates excess residual power in pulsar-timing-array datasets, with characteristic inter-pulsar correlations des…

Validating continuous gravitational-wave candidates from a semicoherent search using Doppler modulation and an effective point spread function

Dana Jones, Ling Sun, Julian Carlin +9

Following up large numbers of candidates in continuous gravitational wave searches presents a challenge, particularly in regard to computational power and the time required to manu…

Impact of Schumann resonances on the Einstein Telescope and projections for the magnetic coupling function

Kamiel Janssens, Katarina Martinovic, Nelson Christensen +2

Correlated magnetic noise in the form of Schumann resonances could introduce limitations to the gravitational-wave background searches of future Earth-based gravitational-wave dete…

Simultaneous estimation of astrophysical and cosmological stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds with terrestrial detectors

Katarina Martinovic, Patrick M. Meyers, Mairi Sakellariadou +1

The recent Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo joint observing runs have not claimed a stochastic gravitational-wave background detection, but one expects this to change as the sensit…

Coherence-based approaches for estimating the composition of the seismic wavefield

M. Coughlin, J. Harms, D. C. Bowden +5

As new techniques exploiting the Earth's ambient seismic noise field are developed and applied, such as for the observation of temporal changes in seismic velocity structure, it is…
