Dynamical pairing in gravitational wave populations
Fabio Antonini, Aleksandra Olejak, Isobel Romero-Shaw +1
Binary black holes formed dynamically in star clusters are often associated with nearly equal-mass pairing. We show that this expectation is incomplete. The more general prediction…
Joint population and strong-lensing inference for resolved gravitational-wave events probes the black-hole merger rate beyond the peak of star formation
Matthew Mould
Gravitational waves can be lensed by intervening potentials of various scales. Strong lensing leads to underestimated distances and overestimated masses, biasing astrophysical resu…
End-to-End Population Inference from Gravitational-Wave Strain using Transformers
Konstantin Leyde, Stephen R. Green, Maximilian Dax +3
The population of compact binaries encodes information about their astrophysical origins and the expansion of the universe. Hierarchical Bayesian methods infer these properties by…
Gravitational-wave astronomy requires population-informed parameter estimation
Matthew Mould, Rodrigo Tenorio, Davide Gerosa
Gravitational-wave events are interpreted in terms of Bayesian posteriors for their source properties inferred under unphysical reference priors. Though these parameter estimates a…
Variance of gravitational-wave populations
Alessia Corelli, Davide Gerosa, Matthew Mould +1
We quantify the impact of finite catalog size, or "catalog variance," on current gravitational-wave population analyses. The distribution of merging binary black holes is commonly…
Neural Bayesian updates to populations with growing gravitational-wave catalogs
Noah E. Wolfe, Matthew Mould, John Veitch +1
As gravitational-wave catalogs grow, they will become increasingly computationally expensive to analyze in their entirety, especially when inferring astrophysical source population…
Measurement prospects for the pair-instability mass cutoff with gravitational waves
Matthew Mould, Jack Heinzel, Sofia Alvarez-Lopez +3
Pair-instability supernovae leave behind no compact remnants, resulting in a predicted gap in the distribution of stellar black-hole masses. Gravitational waves from binary black-h…
