Spinformation: do gravitational-wave events carry information beyond effective spins?
Cailin Plunkett, Jack Heinzel, Noah E. Wolfe +2
While the spin vectors of binary black holes offer insight into the astrophysical formation channels of these systems, individual spins are less precisely measured through gravitat…
Binary-black hole spin population results may be driven by prior degeneracies
Noah E. Wolfe, Asad Hussain, Jack Heinzel +1
Gravitational waves carry information on the spins of merging binary-black holes. The orientations of their spins relative to their orbits ("tilts")---while challenging to measure-…
Reducing systematic uncertainties in gravitational-wave population analyses by increasing the detection threshold
Noah E. Wolfe, Matthew Mould, Jack Heinzel +1
From catalogs of gravitational-wave transients, the population-level properties of their sources and the formation channels of merging compact binaries can be constrained. However,…
