Gravitational-wave memory manifests as a permanent distortion of an idealized gravitational-wave detector and arises generically from energetic astrophysical events. For example, binary black hole mergers are expected to emit memory bursts a little more than an order of magnitude smaller in strain than the oscillatory parent waves. We introduce the concept of orphan memory: gravitational-wave memory for which there is no detectable parent signal. In particular, high-frequency gravitational-wave bursts ($gtrsim$ kHz) produce orphan memory in the LIGO/Virgo band. We show that Advanced LIGO measurements can place stringent limits on the existence of high-frequency gravitational waves, effectively increasing the LIGO bandwidth by orders of magnitude. We investigate the prospects for and implications of future searches for orphan memory.

We summarize our current understanding of gravitational wave emission from core-collapse supernovae. We review the established results from multi-dimensional simulations and, wherever possible, provide back-of-the-envelope calculations to highlight t
he underlying physical principles. The gravitational waves are predominantly emitted by protoneutron star oscillations. In slowly rotating cases, which represent the most common type of the supernovae, the oscillations are excited by multi-dimensional hydrodynamic instabilities, while in rare rapidly rotating cases, the protoneutron star is born with an oblate deformation due to the centrifugal force. The gravitational wave signal may be marginally visible with current detectors for a source within our galaxy, while future third-generation instruments will enable more robust and detailed observations. The rapidly rotating models that develop non-axisymmetric instabilities may be visible up to a megaparsec distance with the third-generation detectors. Finally, we discuss strategies for multi-messenger observations of supernovae.
Cataclysmic astrophysical phenomena can produce impulsive gravitational waves that can possibly be detected by the advanc
We study gravitational waves from the first-order electroweak phase transition in the $SU(N_c)$ gauge theory with $N_f/N_cgg 1$ (large $N_f$ QCD) as a candidate for the walking technicolor, which is modeled by the $U(N_f)times U(N_f)$ linear sigma mo
del with classical scale symmetry (without mass term), particularly for $N_f=8$ (one-family model). This model exhibits spontaneous breaking of the scale symmetry as well as the $U(N_f)times U(N_f)$ radiatively through the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism $grave{a}$ la Gildener-Weinberg, thus giving rise to a light pseudo dilaton (techni-dilaton) to be identified with the 125 GeV Higgs. This model possess a strong first-order electroweak phase transition due to the resultant Coleman-Weinberg type potential. We estimate the bubble nucleation that exhibits an ultra supercooling and then the signal for a stochastic gravitational wave produced via the strong first-order electroweak phase transition. We show that the amplitude can be reached to the expected sensitivities of the LISA.
Searches for gravitational waves crucially depend on exact signal processing of noisy strain data from gravitational wave detectors, which are known to exhibit significant non-Gaussian behavior. In this paper, we study two distinct non-Gaussian effec
ts in the LIGO/Virgo data which reduce the sensitivity of searches: first, variations in the noise power spectral density (PSD) on timescales of more than a few seconds; and second, loud and abrupt transient `glitches of terrestrial or instrumental origin. We derive a simple procedure to correct, at first order, the effect of the variation in the PSD on the search background. Given the knowledge of the existence of localized glitches in particular segments of data, we also develop a method to insulate statistical inference from these glitches, so as to cleanly excise them without affecting the search background in neighboring seconds. We show the importance of applying these methods on the publicly available LIGO data, and measure an increase in the detection volume of at least $15%$ from the PSD-drift correction alone, due to the improved background distribution.
We describe the North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) and its efforts to directly detect and study gravitational waves and other synergistic physics and astrophysics using radio timing observations of millisecond pulsars.
