The construction and use of LISA sensitivity curves
read the original abstract
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will open the mHz band of the gravitational wave spectrum for exploration. Sensitivity curves are a useful tool for surveying the types of sources that can be detected by the LISA mission. Here we describe how the sensitivity curve is constructed, and how it can be used to compute the signal-to-noise ratio for a wide range of binary systems. We adopt the 2018 LISA Phase-0 reference design parameters. We consider both sky-averaged sensitivities, and the sensitivity to sources at particular sky locations. The calculations are included in a publicly available {\em Python} notebook.

Properties of natural polynomials for Schwarzschild and Kerr black holes
Natural polynomials for Schwarzschild and Kerr quasinormal modes are Pollaczek-Jacobi polynomials with complex parameters, with recurrence peaking at the physical overtone index for Schwarzschild.

Primordial Black Hole from Tensor-induced Density Fluctuation: First-order Phase Transitions and Domain Walls
Tensor perturbations from first-order phase transitions and domain wall annihilation induce curvature fluctuations at second order that form primordial black holes, allowing asteroid-mass PBHs to comprise all dark mat...

Are PTA measurements sensitive to gravitational wave non-Gaussianities?
PTA statistical tests lose sensitivity to non-Gaussian GW features after decorrelation and cannot distinguish them model-agnostically.

Mechanical Long Baseline Differential Gradiometers as Low Frequency Gravitational Wave Detectors
A vertical long-wire suspended gradiometer configuration amplifies gravitational wave signals from order h to order h L/D by separating gravitational force from moment of inertia.

Particle motions and gravitational waveforms in rotating black hole spacetimes of loop quantum gravity
The LQG parameter ξ enlarges equatorial bound orbit energy ranges, confines off-equatorial trajectories, and produces larger deviations from Kerr waveforms in EMRI models for two rotating LQG black holes, though signa...

Reviving Motivated Inflationary Potentials with $K$-inflation in the light of ACT
K-inflation with non-canonical kinetic term G(φ) shifts α-attractor T-models and natural inflation into the Planck-ACT-LB-BK18 allowed region while satisfying Swampland conjectures and producing testable GW spectra.

CP-violating multi-field phase transitions and gravitational waves in a hidden NJL sector
Multi-field CP-violating phase transitions in a hidden NJL sector produce undetectable stochastic gravitational waves but remain cosmologically viable due to prompt domain wall collapse.

Topologically equivalent yet radiatively distinct orbits in EMRI system
In dyonic black holes, periodic orbits with identical rotation numbers but spanning different curvature regions generate radiatively distinct gravitational waveforms in EMRIs.

Gravitational waves of extreme-mass-ratio inspirals in a rotating black hole with Dehnen dark matter halo
EMRI waveforms in a rotating black hole with Dehnen DM halo show amplitude and phase shifts from Kerr, with mismatch rising as DM mass parameter and black hole spin increase.
