Too small to fail: characterizing sub-solar mass black hole mergers with gravitational waves
Noah E. Wolfe, Salvatore Vitale, Colm Talbot
The detection of a sub-solar mass black hole could yield dramatic new insights into the nature of dark matter and early-Universe physics, as such objects lack a traditional astroph…
Inferring the Astrophysical Population of Gravitational Wave Sources in the Presence of Noise Transients
Jack Heinzel, Colm Talbot, Gregory Ashton +1
The global network of interferometric gravitational wave (GW) observatories (LIGO, Virgo, KAGRA) has detected and characterized nearly 100 mergers of binary compact objects. Howeve…
Searching for structure in the binary black hole spin distribution
Jacob Golomb, Colm Talbot
The spins of black holes in merging binaries can reveal information related to the formation and evolution of these systems through their gravitational wave emission. Combining eve…
Spin it as you like: the (lack of a) measurement of the spin tilt distribution with LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA binary black holes
Salvatore Vitale, Sylvia Biscoveanu, Colm Talbot
While much has been learned about black holes by analyzing the latest LVK catalog, GWTC-3, a measurement of the astrophysical distribution of the black hole spin orientations remai…
The effect of spin mismodeling on gravitational-wave measurements of the binary neutron star mass distribution
Sylvia Biscoveanu, Colm Talbot, Salvatore Vitale
The binary neutron star (BNS) mass distribution measured with gravitational-wave observations has the potential to reveal information about the dense matter equation of state, supe…
Probing Extremal Gravitational-Wave Events with Coarse-Grained Likelihoods
Reed Essick, Amanda Farah, Shanika Galaudage +4
As catalogs of gravitational-wave transients grow, new records are set for the most extreme systems observed to date. The most massive observed black holes probe the physics of pai…
