From the Big Bang to Tumbleweeds: Analysis of Signals from Relic Gravitons, Neutron Stars, and Terrestrial Gravitational Noise in Gravitational Wave Detectors

<p>This dissertation explores three separate issues in the field of gravitational-wave astronomy: optimal detection algorithms for quasi-periodic signals, gravitational-wave signatures of the equation of state in the early universe, and local Newtonian gravitational noise from nearby airborne...
