Searches for continuous gravitational waves and dark matter signatures with LIGO and Virgo

by Dr Ornella Piccinni (Institut de Fisica d'Altes Energies (IFAE), Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (Spain))

Thursday Nov 16, 2023, 3:00 PM → 5:00 PM Europe/Rome

Dipartimento/1-1 - Sala Consiglio (Dipartimento)

The gravitational-wave detections provided by the LIGO-Virgo network of Advanced interferometers, had a significant impact in many fields of science: astrophysics, cosmology, nuclear physics and fundamental physics. Compact binary coalescence signals, the only type of signals detected so far, are only a small fraction of possible detectable gravitational waves. An interesting family of yet undetected signals, and the ones that I will consider in this talk, are the so-called continuous waves. The main sources of continuous signals are galactic, fast-spinning isolated neutron stars or potential dark  

matter candidates. In this talk, I will review some of the data analysis methods used for the search of these signals and discuss the latest results from Advanced detector data.
