We assess the detectability of the gravitational wave signals from highly eccentric compact binaries. We use a simple model for the inspiral, merger, and ringdown of these systems. The model is based on mapping the binary to an effective…
Searches for gravitational-wave transients from binary black hole coalescences typically rely on one of two approaches: matched filtering with templates and morphology-independent excess power searches. Multiple algorithmic implementations…
Inspiral signals from binary compact objects (black holes and neutron stars) are primary targets of the ongoing searches by ground-based gravitational-wave interferometers (LIGO, Virgo, GEO-600 and TAMA-300). We present parameter-estimation…

The detection of quasi-periodic sources of gravitational waves requires the accumulation of signal-to-noise over long observation times. If not removed, Earth-motion induced Doppler modulations, and intrinsic variations of the…
Searches for continuous gravitational waves from unknown sources attempt to detect long-lasting gravitational radiation by identifying Doppler-modulated signatures in the data. Semicoherent methods allow for wide parameter space surveys,…
Current templated searches for gravitational waves (GWs) emanated from compact binary coalescences (CBCs) assume that the binaries have circularized by the time they enter the sensitivity band of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) network. However,…
We search for gravitational-wave (GW) signals from compact binary coalescences (CBC) in the $2024$ mock data challenge of the Einstein Telescope (ET) with a detection algorithm that does not rely on the waveform of the signal searched. With…
Continuous gravitational waves are nearly monochromatic signals emitted by asymmetries in rotating neutron stars. These signals have not yet been detected. Deep all-sky searches for continuous gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars…
Fully coherent searches (over realistic ranges of parameter space and year-long observation times) for unknown sources of continuous gravitational waves are computationally prohibitive. Less expensive hierarchical searches divide the data…

We investigate the estimation of orbital parameters by least-$\chi^2$ Keplerian fits to radial velocity (RV) data using synthetic data sets. We find that while the fitted period is fairly accurate, the best-fit eccentricity and $M_p\sin i$…
We characterize and present the details of the follow-up method used on the most significant outliers of the Hough Einstein@Home all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves arXiv:1207.7176. This follow-up method is based on the…
We present a $Z_1^2$-based framework for estimating the spin frequency and frequency derivative of high-energy pulsars from Poisson-limited photon event lists. The key point is that the width of a coherent detection peak is not, by itself,…
Current searches for gravitational waves from compact-binary objects are primarily designed to detect the dominant gravitational-wave mode and assume that the binary components have spins which are aligned with the orbital angular momentum.…
