Gravitational-wave inference in the catalog era: evolving priors and marginal events

Shanika Galaudage, Colm Talbot, Eric Thrane

As the number of gravitational-wave transient detections grows, the inclusion of marginally significant events in gravitational-wave catalogs will lead to increasing contamination…

Thanks for the memory: measuring gravitational-wave memory in the first LIGO/Virgo gravitational-wave transient catalog

Moritz Hübner, Colm Talbot, Paul D. Lasky +1

Gravitational-wave memory, a strong-field effect of general relativity, manifests itself as a permanent displacement in spacetime. We develop a Bayesian framework to detect gravita…

Measuring the neutron star equation of state with gravitational waves: the first forty binary neutron star mergers

Francisco Hernandez Vivanco, Rory Smith, Eric Thrane +3

Gravitational waves from binary neutron star coalescences contain rich information about matter at supranuclear densities encoded by the neutron star equation of state. We can meas…

Constraining the Gravitational-Wave Afterglow From a Binary Neutron Star Coalescence

Sharan Banagiri, Michael W. Coughlin, James Clark +5

Binary neutron star mergers are rich laboratories for physics, accessible with ground-based interferometric gravitational-wave detectors such as the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virg…

All-sky search for short gravitational-wave bursts in the second Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1186

We present the results of a search for short-duration gravitational-wave transients in the data from the second observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo. We search for gra…

Higher order gravitational-wave modes with likelihood reweighting

Ethan Payne, Colm Talbot, Eric Thrane

The gravitational waveform of a merging stellar-mass binary is described at leading order by a quadrupolar mode. However, the complete waveform includes higher-order modes, which e…
