Gravitational waves from inflation in LISA: reconstruction pipeline and physics interpretation
/ LISA Cosmology Working Group Collaboration
Various scenarios of cosmic inflation enhance the amplitude of the stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) at frequencies detectable by the LISA detector. We develop tools for a template-based analysis of the SGWB and introduce a template databank to describe well-motivated signals from inflation, prototype their template-based searches, and forecast their reconstruction with LISA. [...]

Consistency of JWST Black Hole Observations with NANOGrav Gravitational Wave Measurements
/ Ellis, John (King's Coll. London ; CERN) ; Fairbairn, Malcolm (King's Coll. London) ; Hütsi, Gert (Unlisted, EE) ; Urrutia, Juan (Unlisted, EE ; NICPB, Tallinn) ; Vaskonen, Ville (Unlisted, EE ; Padua U. ; INFN, Padua) ; Veermäe, Hardi (Unlisted, EE)
JWST observations have opened a new chapter in studies of supermassive black holes (SMBHs), stimulating discussion of two puzzles: the abundance of SMBHs in the early Universe and the fraction of dual AGNs. In this paper we argue that the answers to these puzzles may be linked to an interpretation of the data on the nHz gravitational wave (GWs) discovered by NANOGrav and other Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) in terms of SMBH binaries losing energy by interactions with their environments as well as by GW emission.

We develop a tool for the analysis of stochastic gravitational wave backgrounds from cosmological first-order phase transitions with LISA: we initiate a template databank for these signals, prototype their searches, and forecast their reconstruction. The templates encompass the gravitational wave signals sourced by bubble collisions, sound waves and turbulence. [...]

Probing Supermassive Black Hole Seed Scenarios with Gravitational-wave Measurements
/ Ellis, John (King's Coll. London ; CERN) ; Fairbairn, Malcolm (King's Coll. London) ; Urrutia, Juan ; Vaskonen, Ville
The process whereby the supermassive black holes populating the centers of galaxies have been assembled remains to be established, with the relative importance of seeds provided by collapsed Population-III stars, black holes formed in nuclear star clusters via repeated mergers, or direct collapses of protogalactic disks yet to be determined. In this paper we study the prospects for casting light on this issue by future measurements of gravitational waves emitted during the inspirals and mergers of pairs of intermediate-mass black holes, discussing in particular the roles of prospective measurements by LISA and the proposed atom interferometers AION and AEDGE.

What is the source of the PTA GW signal?

London) ; Franciolini, Gabriele (Rome U. ; INFN, Rome) ; Hütsi, Gert (NICPB, Tallinn) ; Iovino, Antonio (NICPB, Tallinn ; Rome U. ; INFN, Rome) ; Lewicki, Marek (Warsaw U.) ; Raidal, Martti (NICPB, Tallinn) ; Urrutia, Juan (NICPB, Tallinn ; Tallinn U. Tech.) ; Vaskonen, Ville (NICPB, Tallinn ; Padua U. ; INFN, Padua) ; Veermäe, Hardi (NICPB, Tallinn)
The most conservative interpretation of the nHz stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB) discovered by NANOGrav and other Pulsar Timing Array (PTA) Collaborations is astrophysical, namely that it originates from supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries. However, alternative cosmological models have been proposed, including cosmic strings, phase transitions, domain walls, primordial fluctuations and "audible" axions. [...]

Gravitational Waves from SMBH Binaries in Light of the NANOGrav 15-Year Data
/ Ellis, John (Unlisted, EE ; King's Coll. London ; CERN) ; Fairbairn, Malcolm (King's Coll. London) ; Hütsi, Gert (Unlisted, EE) ; Raidal, Juhan (Unlisted, EE) ; Urrutia, Juan (Unlisted, EE ; NICPB, Tallinn) ; Vaskonen, Ville (Unlisted, EE ; Padua U. ; INFN, Padua) ; Veermäe, Hardi (Unlisted, EE)
The NANOGrav Collaboration has recently announced evidence for nHz gravitational waves (GWs), in the form of a Hellings-Downs angular correlation in the common-spectrum process that had been observed previously by them and other Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs). We analyze the possibility that these GWs originate from binary supermassive black holes (SMBHs) with total masses $\gtrsim 10^9\, M_{\odot}$. [...]
