Time shifting the outputs of Gravitational Wave detectors operating in coincidence is a convenient way to estimate the background in a search for short duration signals. However this procedure is limited as increasing indefinitely the number of time shifts does not provide better estimates. We show that the false alarm rate estimation error saturates with the number of time shifts. In particular, for detectors with very different trigger rates this error saturates at a large value. Explicit computations are done for 2 detectors, and for 3 detectors where the detection statistic relies on the logical ``OR of the coincidences of the 3 couples in the network.

With the recent strong developments of TianQin and Taiji, we now have an increasing chance to make a correlation analysis in the mHz band by operating them together with LISA. Assuming two LISA-like triangular detectors at general geometrical configu
rations, we develop a simple formulation to evaluate the network sensitivity to an isotropic gravitational wave background. In our formulation, we fully use the symmetry of data channels within each triangular detector and provide tractable expressions without directly employing cumbersome detector tensors. We concretely evaluate the expected network sensitivities for various potential detector combinations, including the LISA-TianQin pair.
The first detection of a gravitational-wave signal of a coalescence of two black holes marked the beginning of the era of gravitational-wave astronomy, which opens exciting new possibilities in the fields of astronomy, astrophysics and cosmology. The
currently operating detectors of the LIGO and Virgo collaborations are sensitive at relatively high frequencies, from 10 Hz up to about a kHz, and are able to detect gravitational waves emitted in a short time frame of less than a second (binary black holes) to minutes (binary neutron stars). Future missions like LISA will be sensitive in lower frequency ranges, which will make it possible to detect gravitational waves emitted long before these binaries merge. In this article, we investigate the possibilities for parameter estimation using the Fisher-matrix formalism with combined information from present and future detectors in different frequency bands. The detectors we consider are the LIGO/Virgo detectors, the Einstein Telescope (ET), the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), and the first stage of the Deci- Hertz Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory (B-DECIGO). The underlying models are constructed in time domain, which allows us to accurately model long-duration signal observations with multiband (or broadband) detector networks on parameter estimation. We assess the benefit of combining information from ground-based and space-borne detectors, and how choices of the orbit of B-DECIGO influence parameter estimates.
The observation of gravitational waves with a global network of interferometric detectors such as advanced LIGO, advanced Virgo, and KAGRA will make it possible to probe into the nature of space-time structure. Besides Einsteins general theory of rel
ativity, there are several theories of gravitation that passed experimental tests so far. The gravitational-wave observation provides a new experimental test of alternative theories of gravity because a gravitational wave may have at most six independent modes of polarization, of which properties and number of modes are dependent on theories of gravity. This paper proposes a method to reconstruct the independent modes of polarization in time-series data of an advanced detector network. Since the method does not rely on any specific model, it gives model-independent test of alternative theories of gravity.
Unlike ground-based gravitational wave detectors, space-based gravitational wave detectors can detect the ringdown signals from massive black hole binary mergers with large signal-to-noise ratio, and help to extract the source parameters and localize
the source. To reduce the computation time in Fisher information matrix, we derive the analytical formulas of frequency-domain ringdown signals for heliocentric detectors and geocentric detectors by considering the effect of the harmonic phases, the rotation period of the geocentric detector, and the detector arm length. We explore the median errors of parameter estimation and source localization with ringdown singals from binaries with different masses and different redshifts. Using a binary source with the total mass $M=10^7 M_odot$ at the redshift $z=1$, we analyze the dependence of these errors on the sky position. We find that the network of space-based gravitational wave detectors can significantly improve the source localization at the ringdown stage.
Trying to detect the gravitational wave (GW) signal emitted by a type II supernova is a main challenge for the GW community. Indeed, the corresponding waveform is not accurately modeled as the supernova physics is very complex; in addition, all the e
xisting numerical simulations agree on the weakness of the GW emission, thus restraining the number of sources potentially detectable. Consequently, triggering the GW signal with a confidence level high enough to conclude directly to a detection is very difficult, even with the use of a network of interferometric detectors. On the other hand, one can hope to take benefit from the neutrino and optical emissions associated to the supernova explosion, in order to discover and study GW radiation in an event already detected independently. This article aims at presenting some realistic scenarios for the search of the supernova GW bursts, based on the present knowledge of the emitted signals and on the results of network data analysis simulations. Both the direct search and the confirmation of the supernova event are considered. In addition, some physical studies following the discovery of a supernova GW emission are also mentioned: from the absolute neutrino mass to the supernova physics or the black hole signature, the potential spectrum of discoveries is wide.
