The gravitational waveform of merging binary neutron stars encodes information about extreme states of matter. Probing these gravitational emissions requires the gravitational-wave detectors to have high sensitivity above 1 kHz. Fortunately…
The problem of the detection and mapping of a stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB), either of cosmological or astrophysical origin, bears a strong semblance to the analysis of CMB anisotropy and polarization. The basic statistic…
Data from gravitational wave detectors are recorded as time series that include contributions from myriad noise sources in addition to any gravitational wave signals. When regularly sampled data are available, such as for ground based and…
