The impact of physically motivated calibration errors on search pipeline detection parameters for broadband burst Signals

Milan Wils, Brad Ratto, Jeffrey S. Kissel +4

Imperfections in the calibration of gravitational wave observatories introduce frequency dependent amplitude and phase errors on the measured GW signal. Previous unmodelled burst s…

Optimizing searches for gravitational wave bursts using coherent WaveBurst 2G

Alessandro Martini, Andrea Miani, Marco Drago +11

The most general searches for gravitational wave transients (GWTs) rely on data analysis methods that do not assume prior knowledge of the signal waveform, direction, or arrival ti…

An Optically Targeted Search for Gravitational Waves emitted by Core-Collapse Supernovae during the Third Observing Run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo

Marek J. Szczepańczyk, Yanyan Zheng, Javier M. Antelis +35

We present the results from a search for gravitational-wave transients associated with core-collapse supernovae observed optically within 30 Mpc during the third observing run of A…

Minimally modeled characterization method of postmerger gravitational wave emission from binary neutron star coalescences

Maria Concetta Tringali, Anna Puecher, Claudia Lazzaro +5

Gravitational waves emitted during the coalescence of binary neutron star systems carry information about the equation of state describing the extremely dense matter inside neutron…

An autoencoder neural network integrated into gravitational-wave burst searches to improve the rejection of noise transients

Sophie Bini, Gabriele Vedovato, Marco Drago +2

The gravitational-wave (GW) detector data are affected by short-lived instrumental or terrestrial transients, called glitches, which can simulate GW signals. Mitigation of glitches…

Constraints on the amplitude of gravitational wave echoes from black hole ring-down using minimal assumptions

Andrea Miani, Claudia Lazzaro, Giovanni Andrea Prodi +4

Gravitational wave echoes may appear following a compact binary coalescence if the remnant is an "exotic compact object" (ECO). ECOs are proposed alternatives to the black holes of…
