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 …

The birth of gravitational wave astronomy was triggered by the first detection of a signal
produced by the merger of two compact objects (also known as a compact binary …

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

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 …

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

Searches for gravitational-wave signals are often based on maximizing a detection statistic
over a bank of waveform templates, covering a given parameter space with a variable level …

We present the first application of a hierarchical Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) follow-
up on continuous gravitational-wave candidates from real-data searches. The follow-up …

Following up large numbers of candidates in continuous gravitational-wave searches
presents a challenge, particularly in regard to computational power and the time required to …

This article provides an overview of the current state of machine learning in gravitational-
wave research with interferometric detectors. Such applications are often still in their early …

Blind continuous gravitational-wave (CWs) searches are a significant computational
challenge due to their long duration and weak amplitude of the involved signals. To cope …
