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…
Multi-messenger observations in the Einstein Telescope era: binary neutron star and black hole - neutron star mergers
Alberto Colombo, Om Sharan Salafia, Giancarlo Ghirlanda +6
The Einstein Telescope (ET), a proposed next-generation gravitational wave (GW) observatory, will expand the reach of GW astronomy of stellar-mass compact object binaries to unprec…
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…
Forecasting the population properties of merging black holes
Viola De Renzis, Francesco Iacovelli, Davide Gerosa +2
Third-generation gravitational-wave detectors will observe up to millions of merging binary black holes. With such a vast dataset, stacking events into population analyses will arg…
Accurate Standard Siren Cosmology with Joint Gravitational-Wave and -Ray Burst Observations
Michele Mancarella, Francesco Iacovelli, Stefano Foffa +2
Joint gravitational-wave (GW) and -ray burst (GRB) observations are among the best prospects for standard siren cosmology. However, the strong selection effect for the coincide…
