Hubble Constant Measurement with GW190521 as an Eccentric Black Hole Merger

V. Gayathri, J. Healy, J. Lange +7

Gravitational wave observations can be used to accurately measure the Hubble constant and could help understand the present discrepancy between constraints from Type Ia super…

Observing an intermediate mass black hole GW190521 with minimal assumptions

Marek Szczepanczyk, Sergey Klimenko, Brendan O'Brien +10

On May 21, 2019 Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors observed a gravitational-wave transient GW190521, the heaviest binary black-hole merger detected to date with the remnant…

Eccentricity Estimate for Black Hole Mergers with Numerical Relativity Simulations

V. Gayathri, J. Healy, J. Lange +7

The origin of black hole mergers discovered by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational-wave observatories is currently unknown. GW190521 is the heaviest black hole merger detected so far.…

Improving the Robustness of the Advanced LIGO Detectors to Earthquakes

Eyal Schwartz, A Pele, J Warner +196

Teleseismic, or distant, earthquakes regularly disrupt the operation of ground--based gravitational wave detectors such as Advanced LIGO. Here, we present \emph{EQ mode}, a new glo…

Interpreting gravitational-wave burst detections: constraining source properties without astrophysical models

Bence Bécsy, Peter Raffai, Kiranjyot Gill +3

We show that for detections of gravitational-wave transients, constraints can be given on physical parameters of the source without using any specific astrophysical models. Relying…

Improving the background of gravitational-wave searches for core collapse supernovae: A machine learning approach

Marco Cavaglia, Sergio Gaudio, Travis Hansen +3

Based on the prior O1-O2 observing runs, about 30% of the data collected by Advanced LIGO and Virgo in the next observing runs are expected to be single-interferometer data, i.e.,…
