The physics of fast radio bursts

B Zhang - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2023 - APS
Fast radio bursts (FRBs), millisecond-duration bursts prevailing in the radio sky, are the
latest large puzzle in the Universe and have been a subject of intense observational and …

Rates of compact object coalescences

I Mandel, FS Broekgaarden - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2022 - Springer

binaries composed of two compact objects—neutron stars and/or black holes. The …

Searches for continuous-wave gravitational radiation

K Riles - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2023 - Springer
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 …

Using gravitational-wave observations and quasi-universal relations to constrain the maximum mass of neutron stars
