Accurate determination of gravitational wave source parameters relies on transforming between the source and detector frames. All-sky searches for continuous wave sources are computationally expensive, in part, because of barycentering…
A gravitational-wave (GW) early-warning of a compact-binary coalescence event, with a sufficiently tight localisation skymap, would allow telescopes to point in the direction of the potential electromagnetic counterpart before its onset.…
It is expected that gravitational waves, similar to electromagnetic waves, can be gravitationally lensed by intervening matters, producing multiple instances of the same signal arriving at different times from different apparent luminosity…
