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 …

We present results of an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves (CWs), which can
be produced by fast spinning neutron stars with an asymmetry around their rotation axis …

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 …

A wide variety of astrophysical and cosmological sources are expected to contribute to a
stochastic gravitational-wave background. Following the observations of GW150914 and …

The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission, scheduled for launch in the early
2030s, is a gravitational wave observatory in space designed to detect sources emitting in …

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 …

Gravitational wave astronomy opened dramatically in September 2015 with the LIGO
discovery of a distant and massive binary black hole coalescence. The more recent …

Beyond individually resolvable gravitational wave events such as binary black hole and
binary neutron star mergers, the superposition of many more weak signals coming from a …

Non-axisymmetrical deformations of the crust on rapidly rotating neutron stars are one of the
main targets of searches for continuous gravitational waves. The maximum ellipticity, or …

Neutron stars are excellent emitters of gravitational waves. Squeezing matter beyond
nuclear densities invites exotic physical processes, many of which violently transfer large …
