Detecting binary black holes in interferometer data requires an accurate knowledge of the orbital phase evolution of the system. From the point of view of data analysis one also needs fast algorithms to compute the templates that will…
The stable oscillations of pulsating stars can serve as accurate timepieces, which may be monitored for the influence of exoplanets. An external companion gravitationally tugs the host star, causing periodic changes in pulsation arrival…
Pulsars are promising targets for the first detection of continuous gravitational waves (CWs) by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration. Targeted searches leverage critical information derived from continued monitoring of pulsars related…

We have conducted a search of 19 southern Galactic globular clusters for sub-millisecond pulsars at 660 MHz with the Parkes 64-m radio telescope. To minimize dispersion smearing we used the CPSR baseband recorder, which samples the 20 MHz…
In binary radio pulsar system J0737-3039, slow pulsar B shows orbital modulations of intensity, being especially bright at two short orbital phases. We propose that these modulations are due to distortion of pulsar B magnetosphere by pulsar…
For the stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds (SGWBs) search centred at the milli-Hz band, the galactic foreground produced by white dwarf binaries (WDBs) within the Milky Way contaminates the extra-galactic signal severely. Because of…
Magnetar short bursts (SBs) are hard X-ray transients of durations $0.01-1$ s peaking at $\sim 10-100$ keV, and are prime targets for new high-energy missions and polarimeters. The recent association of SBs with bright radio bursts in SGR…

Conventional techniques that measure rapid time variations are inefficient or inadequate to discover and observe rapidly pulsating astronomical sources. It is therefore conceivable that there exist some classes of objects pulsating with…

Ultra-light dark matter perturbs the orbital motion of binary pulsars, in particular by causing peculiar time variations of a binary's orbital parameters, which then induce variations in the pulses' times-of-arrival. Binary pulsars have…
We present a method for assigning a statistical significance to detection candidates in targeted searches for continuous gravitational waves from known pulsars, without assuming the detector noise is Gaussian and stationary. We take…
The search for gravitational waves generated by the inspiral phase of binaries of light compact objects holds significant promise in testing the existence of primordial black holes and/or other exotic objects. In this paper, we present a…
