Exploring Gravitational-Wave Detection and Parameter Inference using Deep Learning

Sampling with prior knowledge for high-dimensional gravitational wave data analysis

Extracting knowledge from high-dimensional data has been notoriously difficult, primarily due to the so-called "curse of dimensionality" and the complex joint distributions of these dimensions. This is a particularly profound issue for …

Detector Characterization and Mitigation of Noise in Ground-Based Gravitational-Wave Interferometers

Since the early stages of operation of ground-based gravitational-wave interferometers, careful monitoring of these detectors has been an important component of their successful operation and observations. Characterization of gravitational-wave …

Research Facilities for Europe's Next Generation Gravitational-Wave Detector Einstein Telescope

The Einstein Telescope is Europe's next generation gravitational-wave detector. To develop all necessary technology, four research facilities have emerged across Europe: The Amaldi Research Center (ARC) in Rome (Italy), ETpathfinder in Maastricht …

Search Methods for Continuous Gravitational-Wave Signals from Unknown Sources in the Advanced-Detector Era

Continuous gravitational waves are long-lasting forms of gravitational radiation produced by persistent quadrupolar variations of matter. Standard expected sources for ground-based interferometric detectors are neutron stars presenting …

Testing General Relativity with Gravitational Waves: An Overview

The detections of gravitational-wave (GW) signals from compact binary coalescence by ground-based detectors have opened up the era of GW astronomy. These observations provide opportunities to test Einstein’s general theory of relativity at the …
