Quasi-universal relations connecting the tidal deformability and the quadrupole moment of individual neutron stars are predicted by theoretical computations, but have not been measured experimentally. However, such relations are employed during the interpretation of gravitational waves and, therefore, have a direct impact on the interpretation of real data. In this work, we study how quasi-universal relations can be tested and measured from gravitational wave signals connected to binary neutron star coalescences. We study a population of $120$ binary neutron star systems and find that Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo at design sensitivity could find possible deviations of predicted relations if the observed neutron stars are highly spinning. In the future, a network of third generation (3G) detectors will be able to even allow a measurement of quasi-universal relations. Thus, the outlined approach provides a new test of general relativity and nuclear physics predictions.
With the advanced LIGO and Virgo detectors taking observations the detection of gravitational waves is expected within the next few years. Extracting astrophysical information from gravitational wave detections is a well-posed problem and thoroughly
We show that for detections of gravitational-wave transients, constraints can be given on physical parameters of the source without using any specific astrophysical models. Relying only on fundamental principles of general relativity, we can set uppe
We present a method for assigning a statistical significance to detection candidates in targeted searches for continuous gravitational waves from known pulsars, without assuming the detector noise is Gaussian and stationary. We take advantage of the
The observed distributions of the source properties from gravitational-wave detections are biased due to the selection effects and detection criteria in the detections, analogous to the Malmquist bias. In this work, this observation bias is investiga
Atom interferometers (AIs) as gravitational-wave (GW) detector had been proposed a decade ago. Both ground and space-based projects will be in construction and preparation in a near future. In this paper, for the first time, we investigate the potent
