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…

GW231109_235456: A Sub-threshold Binary Neutron Star Merger in the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA O4a Observing Run?

Wanting Niu, Carl-Johan Haster, Jolien D. E. Creighton +25

We present a sub-threshold search for gravitational-wave inspirals from binary neutron stars using data from the first part of the fourth LIGO--Virgo--KAGRA observing run. To enhan…

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…

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…

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…
