Relative calibration of the LIGO and Virgo detectors using astrophysical events from their third observing run

C. Alléné, N. Andres, M. Assiduo +12

We explore a method to assess the relative scale of the strain measured in the different detectors of the gravitational-wave network, using binary black hole (BBH) events detected…

The Virgo O3 run and the impact of the environment

F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +486

Sources of geophysical noise (such as wind, sea waves and earthquakes) or of anthropogenic noise impact ground-based gravitational-wave interferometric detectors, causing transient…

Assessing the compact-binary merger candidates reported by the MBTA pipeline in the LIGO-Virgo O3 run: probability of astrophysical origin, classification, and associated uncertainties

Nicolas Andres, Maria Assiduo, Florian Aubin +9

We describe the method used by the Multi-Band Template Analysis (MBTA) pipeline to compute the probability of astrophysical origin, , of compact binary coalescence candi…

Modeling the gravitational wave signature of neutron star black hole coalescences: PhenomNSBH

Jonathan E. Thompson, Edward Fauchon-Jones, Sebastian Khan +4

Accurate gravitational-wave (GW) signal models exist for black hole binary (BBH) and neutron-star binary (BNS) systems, which are consistent with all of the published GW observatio…
