Impact of eccentricity and higher-modes on neutron star-black hole parameter estimation
Snehal Tibrewal, Aasim Jan, Aaron Zimmerman +1
Detections of gravitational waves from neutron star-black hole systems provide avenues for studying extreme matter, constraining binary formation channels, and testing the nature o…
The LIGO HET Response (LIGHETR) Project to Discover and Spectroscopically Follow Optical Transients Associated with Neutron Star Mergers
M. J. Bustamante-Rosell, Greg Zeimann, J. Craig Wheeler +20
The LIGO HET Response (LIGHETR) project is an enterprise to follow up optical transients (OT) discovered as gravitational wave merger sources by the LIGO/Virgo collaboration (LVC).…
An Infrared Search for Kilonovae with the WINTER Telescope. I. Binary Neutron Star Mergers
Danielle Frostig, Sylvia Biscoveanu, Geoffrey Mo +8
The Wide-Field Infrared Transient Explorer (WINTER) is a new 1 seeing-limited time-domain survey instrument designed for dedicated near-infrared follow-up of kilonov…
The relative contribution to heavy metals production from binary neutron star mergers and neutron star-black hole mergers
Hsin-Yu Chen, Salvatore Vitale, Francois Foucart
The origin of the heavy elements in the Universe is not fully determined. Neutron star-black hole (NSBH) and {binary neutron star} (BNS) mergers may both produce heavy elements via…
Systematic uncertainty of standard sirens from the viewing angle of binary neutron star inspirals
Hsin-Yu Chen
The independent measurement of Hubble constant with gravitational-wave standard sirens will potentially shed light on the tension between the local distance ladders and Planck expe…
Searching for exotic cores with binary neutron star inspirals
Hsin-Yu Chen, Paul M. Chesler, Abraham Loeb
We study the feasibility of detecting exotic cores in merging neutron stars with ground-based gravitational-wave detectors. We focus on models with a sharp nuclear/exotic matter in…
Measuring the delay time distribution of binary neutron stars. II. Using the redshift distribution from third-generation gravitational wave detectors network
Mohammadtaher Safarzadeh, Edo Berger, Ken K. -Y. Ng +4
We investigate the ability of current and third-generation gravitational wave (GW) detectors to determine the delay time distribution (DTD) of binary neutron stars (BNS) through a…
Astro 2020 Science White Paper: Joint Gravitational Wave and Electromagnetic Astronomy with LIGO and LSST in the 2020's
Philip S. Cowperthwaite, Hsin-Yu Chen, Ben Margalit +4
The blossoming field of joint gravitational wave and electromagnetic (GW-EM) astronomy is one of the most promising in astronomy. The first, and only, joint GW-EM event GW170817 pr…
Distinguishing binary neutron star from neutron star-black hole mergers with gravitational waves
Hsin-Yu Chen, Katerina Chatziioannou
The gravitational-wave signal from the merger of two neutron stars cannot be easily differentiated from the signal produced by a comparable-mass mixed binary of a neutron star and…
Viewing angle of binary neutron star mergers
Hsin-Yu Chen, Salvatore Vitale, Ramesh Narayan
The joint detection of the gravitational wave (GW) GW170817 and its electromagnetic (EM) counterparts GRB170817A and kilonova AT 2017gfo has triggered extensive study of the EM emi…
Finding the One: Identifying the Host Galaxies of Gravitational-Wave Sources
Hsin-Yu Chen, Daniel E. Holz
We explore the localization of compact binary coalescences with ground-based gravitational-wave detector networks. We simulate tens of thousands of binary events, and present the d…
Observational Selection Effects with Ground-based Gravitational Wave Detectors
Hsin-Yu Chen, Reed Essick, Salvatore Vitale +2
Ground-based interferometers are not perfectly all-sky instruments, and it is important to account for their behavior when considering the distribution of detected events. In parti…
Going the Distance: Mapping Host Galaxies of LIGO and Virgo Sources in Three Dimensions Using Local Cosmography and Targeted Follow-up
L. P. Singer, H. -Y. Chen, D. E. Holz +17
The Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) discovered gravitational waves (GWs) from a binary black hole merger in 2015 September and may soon observe…
