abstract
We calculate the noise induced in the anisotropies of the astrophysical gravitational-wave background by finite sampling of both the galaxy distribution and the compact binary coalescence event rate. This shot noise leads to a scale-invariant bias term in the angular power spectrum $C_\ell$, for which we derive a simple analytical expression. We find that this bias dominates over the true cosmological power spectrum in any reasonable observing scenario, and that only with very long observing times and removal of a large number of foreground sources can the true power spectrum be recovered.

All You Need is not $\Omega_\mathrm{gw}$: Beyond the Mean of the Cross-Correlation Estimator when Searching for an Astrophysical Gravitational-Wave Background
For a two-detector Cosmic Explorer network, the cross-correlation estimator of the binary black hole background has skewness 0.31 and excess kurtosis 1.3 at 20 Hz, a non-Gaussianity that will matter for next-generatio...

Directional Search for Persistent Gravitational Waves: Results from the First Part of LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA's Fourth Observing Run
An 8.3-year LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA search for persistent, direction-dependent gravitational waves finds no signal and yields the most restrictive upper limits to date on anisotropic backgrounds and targeted sources.
