Phase-coherent mapping of gravitational-wave backgrounds using ground-based laser interferometers
Phase-coherent mapping of gravitational-wave backgrounds using ground-based laser interferometers
We extend the formalisms developed in Gair et al. [1] and Cornish and van Haasteren [2] to create maps of gravitational-wave backgrounds using a network of ground-based laser interferometers. We show that in contrast to pulsar timing arrays, which are insensitive to the curl modes of the background, a network …
