Impact of modelling galaxy redshift uncertainties on the gravitational-wave dark standard siren measurement of the Hubble constant

Cezary Turski, Maciej Bilicki, Gergely Dálya +2

Gravitational wave science is a new and rapidly expanding field of observational astronomy. Multimessenger observations of the binary neutron star merger GW170817 have provided som…

The Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy catalog approach for gravitational wave cosmology

Jonathan R. Gair, Archisman Ghosh, Rachel Gray +28

We outline the ``dark siren'' galaxy catalog method for cosmological inference using gravitational wave (GW) standard sirens, clarifying some common misconceptions in the implement…

Cosmology in the dark: How compact binaries formation impact the gravitational-waves cosmological measurements

S. Mastrogiovanni, K. Leyde, C. Karathanasis +7

Information about the mass spectrum of compact stars can be used to infer cosmological parameters from gravitational waves (GW) in the absence of redshift measurements obtained fro…

Search for lensing signatures in the gravitational-wave observations from the first half of LIGO-Virgo's third observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1378

We search for signatures of gravitational lensing in the gravitational-wave signals from compact binary coalescences detected by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo during O3a, the fi…

Cosmology in the dark: On the importance of source population models for gravitational-wave cosmology

S. Mastrogiovanni, K. Leyde, C. Karathanasis +7

Knowledge of the shape of the mass spectrum of compact objects can be used to help break the degeneracy between the mass and redshift of the gravitational wave (GW) sources, and th…

Search for the isotropic stochastic background using data from Advanced LIGO's second observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1133

The stochastic gravitational-wave background is a superposition of sources that are either too weak or too numerous to detect individually. In this study we present the results fro…
