Calibrating signal-to-noise ratio detection thresholds using gravitational-wave catalogs

Matthew Mould, Christopher J. Moore, Davide Gerosa

Searching for gravitational-wave signals is a challenging and computationally intensive endeavor undertaken by multiple independent analysis pipelines. While detection depends only…

One to many: comparing single gravitational-wave events to astrophysical populations

Matthew Mould, Davide Gerosa, Marco Dall'Amico +1

Gravitational-wave observations have revealed sources whose unusual properties challenge our understanding of compact-binary formation. Inferring the formation processes that are b…

QLUSTER: quick clusters of merging binary black holes

Davide Gerosa, Matthew Mould

This short document illustrates QLUSTER: a toy model for populations of binary black holes in dense astrophysical environments. QLUSTER is a simple tool to investigate the occurren…

Parameter estimation of binary black holes in the endpoint of the up-down instability

Viola De Renzis, Davide Gerosa, Matthew Mould +2

Black-hole binary spin precession admits equilibrium solutions corresponding to systems with (anti-) aligned spins. Among these, binaries in the up-down configuration, where the sp…

Efficient multi-timescale dynamics of precessing black-hole binaries

Davide Gerosa, Giulia Fumagalli, Matthew Mould +4

We present analytical and numerical progress on black-hole binary spin precession at second post-Newtonian order using multi-timescale methods. In addition to the commonly used eff…

Precision Ephemerides for Gravitational-wave Searches -- IV: Corrected and refined ephemeris for Scorpius X-1

T. L. Killestein, M. Mould, D. Steeghs +3

Low-mass X-ray binaries have long been theorised as potential sources of continuous gravitational-wave radiation, yet there is no observational evidence from recent LIGO/Virgo obse…
