Detection of quasi-monochromatic, long-duration (continuous) gravitational wave radiation emitted by, e.g., asymmetric rotating neutron stars in our Galaxy requires a long observation time to distinguish it from the detector's noise. If…
The cross-correlation search has been previously applied to map the gravitational wave (GW) stochastic background in the sky and also to target GW from rotating neutron stars/pulsars. Here we investigate how the cross-correlation method can…
We describe a novel, very fast and robust, directed search incoherent method for periodic gravitational waves (GWs) from neutron stars in binary systems. As directed search, we assume the source sky position to be known with enough…

Continuous gravitational-wave signals from isolated non-axisymmetric rotating neutron stars may undergo episodic spin-up events known as glitches. If unmodelled by a search, these can result in missed or misidentified detections. We outline…

Gravitational waves, although generally associated with extremely microscopic effects, can displace by hundreds of kilometers the pulsar interstellar scintillation patterns that bathe the Earth. The combination of the pulsar and the…

In 1984, Clarke expanded the domain of observed quantum phenomena from the microscopic regimes of atoms and electrons (10^1-10^3 particles) to macroscopic superconducting circuits exhibiting quantum coherence (10^9-10^12). I show the…
The phase--space volume of regions of regular or trapped motion, for bounded or scattering systems with two degrees of freedom respectively, displays universal properties. In particular, sudden reductions in the phase-space volume or gaps…
