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…
Accelerating Tests of General Relativity with Gravitational-Wave Signals using Hybrid Sampling
Noah E. Wolfe, Colm Talbot, Jacob Golomb
The Advanced LIGO/Virgo interferometers have observed gravitational-wave transients enabling new questions to be answered about relativity, astrophysics, and cosmology.…
The orientations of the binary black holes in GWTC-3
Salvatore Vitale, Sylvia Biscoveanu, Colm Talbot
It is expected that the orbital planes of gravitational-wave (GW) sources are isotropically distributed. However, both physical and technical factors, such as alternate theories of…
