we discuss some aspects of sousa et al.

ligo and virgo have been consistently detecting compact binary coalescences, providing us with incredibly valuable information about gravity in the strong-field regime. however, their limited sensitivity makes it challenging to constrain the parameters of the merging system. future space-based and third-generation grou...
assessing the readiness of numerical relativity for future gravitational wave detections
i present updates on an analytic approximation method for use in computing orbits and waveforms for extreme mass ratio inspirals (emris). emris are of particular interest for future space-based gravitational wave detectors, such as (e)lisa. such gravitational wave detectors will depend on precise predictions of the wav...
progress toward post-adiabatic emri waveforms using the multiscale approximation
gravity waves (gws) are one of the most important coupling mechanisms in the atmosphere. they couple different compartments of the atmosphere. the gw-lcycle (gravity wave life cycle) project aims on studying the excitation, propagation, and dissipation of gravity waves. an aircraft campaign has been performed in winter...
first 3d measurements of temperature fluctuations induced by gravity wave with the infrared limb imager gloria
since its first demonstration in 1991, atomic interferometry (ai) has shown to be an extremely performing probe of inertial forces. more recently, ai has revealed sensitivities to acceleration or rotation competing with or even beating state-of-the art sensors based on other technologies. the high stability and accurac...
the matter-wave laser interferometer gravitation antenna : a new tool for underground geophysical studies
we report the detection of ten new binary black hole merger signals in the publicly released data from the the first half of the third observing run of advanced ligo and advanced virgo (o3a). the mergers were discovered using an updated version of the search pipeline described in venumadhav et al. (phys. rev. d101, 083...
ten new binary black hole mergers in the o3a observing run of advanced ligo and advanced virgo
in this talk, we shall present our recent studies on gravitational waves (gws) produced by remote compact astrophysical sources. to describe such gws properly, we introduce three scales, the typical wavelength of gws, the scale of the cosmological perturbations, and the size of the observable universe. for gws to be de...
propagation of gravitational waves in an inhomogeneous universe
we present a novel machine-learning approach to estimate selection effects in gravitational-wave observations. using techniques similar to those commonly employed in image classification and pattern recognition, we train a series of neural-network classifiers to predict the ligo/virgo detectability of gravitational-wav...
can a computer learn if ligo and virgo will observe gravitational waves?
gecam (gravitational wave high-energy electromagnetic counterpart all-sky monitor) is a space mission designed to detect gravitational wave gamma-ray bursts and other high-energy transient sources in the energy range 6kev to 5mev. it consists of two satellites, each containing 25 gamma-ray detectors (grd) to implement ...

magis-100 is a 100 meter baseline atom interferometer which will search for wavelike dark matter, serve as a prototype gravitational wave detector in the 0.3-3 hz frequency range, and realize large scale quantum superpositions. the interferometer will be assembled in the vertical minos access shaft at fermilab, where t...
a tunable, high power interferometer beam with reduced pointing fluctuations and wavefront aberrations for 100-meter baseline atom interferometry (magis-100)
the space-based gravitational wave observatory lisa has been designed to sense waves at millihertz frequencies coming from galactic binaries and extreme mass-ratio inspirals, among other sources. a technology-demonstration mission, lisa pathfinder, was launched in 2015 and observed several unexpected changes in test ma...
