Now that detection of gravitational-wave signals from the coalescence of extra-galactic
compact binary star mergers has become nearly routine, it is intriguing to consider other …

Determining the Equation of State (EOS) of dense neutron-rich nuclear matter is a shared
goal of both nuclear physics and astrophysics. Except possible phase transitions, the density …

In this work, we study the prospect of detecting the stochastic gravitational-wave background
with the TianQin Observatory. We consider sources of both astrophysical and cosmological …

To date, the LIGO and Virgo observatories have made detections of numerous sources of
gravitational radiation. These detections have been of transient gravitational waves (GWs) …

We report results from searches for anisotropic stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds
using data from the first three observing runs of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo …

Gravitational wave detectors are already operating at interesting sensitivity levels, and they
have an upgrade path that should result in secure detections by 2014. We review the …

Matter at high density and low temperature is expected to be a color superconductor, which
is a degenerate Fermi gas of quarks with a condensate of Cooper pairs near the Fermi …

The goal of the Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is to detect and
study gravitational waves (GWs) of astrophysical origin. Direct detection of GWs holds the …

The physics of neutron star crusts is vast, involving many different research fields, from
nuclear and condensed matter physics to general relativity. This review summarizes the …

Seven years after the first direct detection of gravitational waves, from the collision of two
black holes, the field of gravitational wave astronomy is firmly established. A first detection of …
