Measurements of redshifted 21-cm emission of neutral hydrogen at <30 MHz have the potential to probe the cosmic "dark ages," a period of the universe's history that remains unobserved to date. Observations at these frequencies are…
A wide variety of astrophysical and cosmological sources are expected to contribute to a stochastic gravitational-wave background. Following the observations of GW150914 and GW151226, the rate and mass of coalescing binary black holes…
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will operate as an AM/FM receiver for gravitational waves. For binary systems, the source location, orientation and orbital phase are encoded in the amplitude and frequency modulation. The same…
To evaluate the probability of a gravitational-wave candidate originating from noise, GstLAL collects noise statistics from the data it analyzes. Gravitational-wave signals of astrophysical origin get added to the noise statistics, harming…
We introduce a method based on the loudest event statistic to calculate an upper limit or interval on the astrophysical rate of binary coalescence. The calculation depends upon the sensitivity and noise background of the detectors, and a…

Calibration of the Advanced LIGO detectors is the quantification of the detectors' response to gravitational waves. Gravitational waves incident on the detectors cause phase shifts in the interferometer laser light which are read out as…
The cross-correlation of the Ly-alpha forest and redshifted 21-cm emission has recently been proposed as an observational tool for mapping out the large-scale structures in the post-reionization era z < 6. This has a significant advantage…
Gravitational wave astronomy is established with direct observation of gravitational wave from merging binary black holes and binary neutron stars during the first and second observing run of LIGO and Virgo detectors. The gravitational-wave…
The vast majority of gravitational-wave signals from stellar-mass compact binary mergers are too weak to be individually detected with present-day instruments and instead contribute to a faint, persistent background. This astrophysical…
To date, the LIGO collaboration has detected three gravitational wave (GW) events appearing in both its Hanford and Livingston detectors. In this article we reexamine the LIGO data with regard to correlations between the two detectors. With…

The response of the Advanced LIGO interferometers is known to vary with time [arXiv:1608.05134]. Accurate calibration of the interferometers must therefore track and compensate for temporal variations in calibration model parameters. These…
