Searches for gravitational waves (GWs) traditionally focus on persistent sources (e.g., pulsars or the stochastic background) or on transients sources (e.g., compact binary inspirals or core-collapse supernovae), which last for timescales…

Continuous gravitational waves from neutron stars could provide an invaluable resource to learn about their interior physics. A common search method involves matched filtering a modeled template against the noisy gravitational-wave data to…

Isolated neutron stars that are asymmetric with respect to their spin axis are possible sources of detectable continuous gravitational waves. This paper presents a fully-coherent search for such signals from eighteen pulsars in data from…

Gravitational wave science should transform in this decade from a study of what has not been seen to a full-fledged field of astronomy in which detected signals reveal the nature of cataclysmic events and exotic objects. The LIGO Scientific…

We investigate a possibility of estimating mass of an isolated rapidly rotating neutron star (NS) from a continuous gravitational wave (GW) signal emitted by the NS. When the GW passes through the gravitational potential of the NS, the GW…

Gravitational wave bursts are transient signals distinct from compact binary mergers that arise from a wide variety of astrophysical phenomena. Because most of these phenomena are poorly modeled, the use of traditional search methods such…

Relic gravitational waves (RGWs) generated in the early Universe form a stochastic GW background, which can be directly probed by measuring the timing residuals of millisecond pulsars. In this paper, we investigate the constraints on the…
