When to Point Your Telescopes: Gravitational Wave Trigger Classification for Real-Time Multi-Messenger Followup Observations
Anarya Ray, Wanting Niu, Shio Sakon +36
We develop a robust and self-consistent framework to extract and classify gravitational wave candidates from noisy data, for the purpose of assisting in real-time multi-messenger f…
New Methods for Offline GstLAL Analyses
Prathamesh Joshi, Leo Tsukada, Chad Hanna +38
In this work, we present new methods implemented in the GstLAL offline gravitational wave search. These include a technique to reuse the matched filtering data products from a GstL…
Gauge Theoretic Signal Processing II: Zero-Latency Whitening for Early Warning Pipelines
James Kennington, Joshua Black, Zach Yarbrough +9
Low-latency gravitational-wave search pipelines provide early-warning alerts for multimessenger astrophysical transients. Current pipelines whiten the data stream using acausal, li…
SGNL: Scalable Low-Latency Gravitational Wave Detection Pipeline for Compact Binary Mergers
Yun-Jing Huang, Chad Hanna, Leo Tsukada +8
We present SGNL, a scalable, low-latency gravitational-wave search pipeline. It reimplements the core matched-filtering principles of the GstLAL pipeline within a modernized framew…
Performance of the low-latency GstLAL inspiral search towards LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA's fourth observing run
Becca Ewing, Rachael Huxford, Divya Singh +40
GstLAL is a stream-based matched-filtering search pipeline aiming at the prompt discovery of gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences such as the mergers of black holes…
Improved ranking statistics of the GstLAL inspiral search for compact binary coalescences
Leo Tsukada, Prathamesh Joshi, Shomik Adhicary +37
Starting from May 2023, the LIGO Scientific, Virgo and KAGRA Collaboration is planning to conduct the fourth observing run with improved detector sensitivities and an expanded dete…
Searching for asymmetric and heavily precessing Binary Black Holes in the gravitational wave data from the LIGO and Virgo third Observing Run
Stefano Schmidt, Sarah Caudill, Jolien D. E. Creighton +37
Leveraging the features of the GstLAL pipeline, we present the results of a matched filtering search for asymmetric binary black hole systems with heavily misaligned spins in LIGO…
Template bank for compact binary mergers in the fourth observing run of Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo, and KAGRA
Shio Sakon, Leo Tsukada, Heather Fong +34
Matched-filtering gravitational wave search pipelines identify gravitational wave signals by computing correlations, i.e., signal-to-noise ratios, between gravitational wave detect…
Searching for gravitational-wave signals from precessing black hole binaries with the GstLAL pipeline
Stefano Schmidt, Sarah Caudill, Jolien D. E. Creighton +36
Precession in Binary Black Holes (BBH) is caused by the failure of the Black Hole spins to be aligned and its study can open up new perspectives in gravitational waves (GW) astrono…
Method to get Better Sky Maps in a GstLAL Low-Latency Analysis
Prathamesh Joshi, Becca Ewing, Chad Hanna +40
Modeled gravitational wave searches correlate the strain data with a bank of gravitational wave template waveforms to make detections of gravitational wave candidates, and these re…
A Joint Ranking Statistic for Multi-messenger Astronomical Searches with Gravitational Waves
Brandon Piotrzkowski, Amanda Baylor, Ignacio Magaña Hernandez
Joint ranking statistics are used to distinguish real from random coincidences, ideally considering whether shared parameters are consistent with each other as well as whether the…
Template bank for sub solar mass compact binary mergers in the fourth observing run of Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo, and KAGRA
Chad Hanna, James Kennington, Wanting Niu +38
Matched-filtering searches for gravitational-wave signals from compact binary mergers employ template banks which are a collection of modeled waveforms described by unique intrinsi…
How Many Times Should We Matched Filter Gravitational Wave Data? A Comparison of GstLAL's Online and Offline Performance
Prathamesh Joshi, Wanting Niu, Chad Hanna +34
Searches for gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences employ a process called matched filtering, in which gravitational wave strain data is cross-correlated against a b…
GstLAL O4 Online Results Paper
Shomik Adhicary, Pratyusava Baral, Amanda Baylor +39
Gravitational-wave observations of merging binary neutron stars and black holes are now routinely made by detectors in the Advanced LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA network. Neutron star binary sy…
