Measuring the rate of glitches in interferometric gravitational wave detectors with a hierarchical Bayesian model

Gregory Ashton, Colm Talbot, Andrew Lundgren +2

Ground-based gravitational wave detectors are now routinely surveying the dark Universe, finding hundreds of collisions between compact objects. However, terrestrial non-Gaussian n…

Inference with finite time series II: the window strikes back

Colm Talbot, Sylvia Biscoveanu, Aaron Zimmerman +9

Smooth window functions are often applied to strain data when inferring the parameters describing the astrophysical sources of gravitational-wave transients. Within the LIGO-Virgo-…

Progress toward the detection of the gravitational-wave background from stellar-mass binary black holes: a mock data challenge

Xiao-Xiao Kou, Muhammed Saleem, Vuk Mandic +2

While the third LIGO--Virgo gravitational-wave transient catalog includes 90 signals, it is believed that binary black holes merge somewhere in the Universe every…

The Stochastic Siren: Astrophysical Gravitational-Wave Background Measurements of the Hubble Constant

Bryce Cousins, Kristen Schumacher, Adrian Ka-Wai Chung +4

We report the first measurement of the Hubble constant using the stochastic gravitational-wave background arising from binary black hole mergers. This astrophysical backgroun…

Better early than never: A new test for superluminal gravitational wave polarizations

Kristen Schumacher, Colm Talbot, Daniel E. Holz +1

In some beyond-Einstein theories of gravity, gravitational waves can contain up to six polarizations, which are allowed to propagate at different speeds faster than light. These di…

GWPopulation: Hardware agnostic population inference for compact binaries and beyond

Colm Talbot, Amanda Farah, Shanika Galaudage +2

Since the first direct detection of gravitational waves by the LIGO--Virgo collaboration in 2015, the size of the gravitational-wave transient catalog has grown to nearly 100 event…
