Measuring the primordial gravitational-wave background in the presence of astrophysical foregrounds
read the original abstract
Primordial gravitational waves are expected to create a stochastic background encoding information about the early Universe that may not be accessible by other means. However, the primordial background is obscured by an astrophysical foreground consisting of gravitational waves from compact binaries. We demonstrate a Bayesian method for estimating the primordial background in the presence of an astrophysical foreground. Since the background and foreground signal parameters are estimated simultaneously, there is no subtraction step, and therefore we avoid astrophysical contamination of the primordial measurement, sometimes referred to as "residuals". Additionally, since we include the non-Gaussianity of the astrophysical foreground in our model, this method represents the statistically optimal approach to the simultaneous detection of a multi-component stochastic background.

Can machine learning improve the detectability and disentanglement of the gravitational-wave background?
On 108 days of simulated O4a-like LIGO noise, a deep-learning autoencoder plus MCMC pipeline detects a CBC background at Ωα≈4.5e-9 and separates a flat cosmological component at Ω0≈9e-10, outperforming the standard py...

Inflationary phase transitions in the early Universe: A Bayesian study with space-based gravitational-wave detectors
With a Taiji-like detector, inflationary phase-transition gravitational-wave backgrounds are detectable at SNR≳10, but reliable parameter reconstruction needs SNR≳33 and degrades with astrophysical foregrounds.

Impact of facility timing and coordination for next-generation gravitational-wave detectors
Simulations of ET and CE networks show delays degrade localization metrics far more than SNR, with LIGO India greatly reducing the impact for multi-messenger and stochastic searches.
