Could gravitational lensing impact the observed BBH population? on 6th Sep 2019 5:35:pm talk at workshop “Astrophysics with GW detections” in Warsaw, Poland Just like visible light, gravitational waves can be lensed by heavy masses between source and observer. Hence, a fraction of the observed distant binary black hole mergers could be magnified by lensing, some sources may have produced multiple observable images, and individual waveforms may be...
Search for long-duration transient gravitational waves after pulsar glitches on 3rd Sep 2019 11:45:am talk at LIGO-Virgo collaboration meeting, Warsaw, Poland, Continuous Waves f2f session
Searching for long-duration gravitational wave transients from glitching pulsars on 12th Jul 2019 4:15:pm talk at GR22/Amaldi13 conference in Valencia, Spain; session C2: Gravitational waves: Searches, data analysis, parameter estimation and multi-messenger astronomy Neutron stars can emit gravitational waves (GWs) on many different timescales, ranging from milliseconds to the quasi-permanent continuous-wave regime. Nearby known radio pulsars like the Crab and Vela are among the most promising sources. Sudden spin-up...
Education & public outreach activities of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration on 8th Jul 2019 3:00:pm talk at GR22/Amaldi13 conference in Valencia, Spain; session C8: Education and Public Outreach on Gravitational Wave Astronomy Gravitational wave science took the spotlight of global media and public attention when we announced our first detection in 2016, and again with the huge multi-messenger success and Nobel prize in 2017. More recently, the LIGO-Virgo event...
Gravitational Lensing of Gravitational Waves from Binary Black Holes ference: Neutron star and black hole binary mergers on 10th May 2019 12:10:pm talk at RAS specialist discussion meeting “Neutron star and black hole binary mergers: the first results of the LIGO-Virgo era” Gravitational waves (GWs) from distant sources, such as binary black hole mergers, can be affected by intervening masses acting as gravitational lenses. In the case of strong lensing this can produce significant magnifications, as...
Studying Neutron Stars with long-duration gravitational wave transients on 24th Apr 2019 5:15:pm talk at yearly conference of COST action PHAROS: The multi-messenger physics and astrophysics of neutron stars, Platja d’Aro, Spain Neutron Stars can emit gravitational waves on many different timescales, ranging from milliseconds to the quasi-permanent continuous wave regime. Among the signals accessible to ground-based detectors, long-duration transients are among the least studied, and searching for...
