Bring the Heat: Tidal Heating Constraints for Black Holes and Exotic Compact Objects from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Data
Horng Sheng Chia, Zihan Zhou, Mikhail M. Ivanov
We present the first constraints on tidal heating for the binary systems detected in the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) gravitational wave data. Tidal heating, also known as tidal dissipat…
In Pursuit of Love: First Templated Search for Compact Objects with Large Tidal Deformabilities in the LIGO-Virgo Data
Horng Sheng Chia, Thomas D. P. Edwards, Digvijay Wadekar +6
We report results on the first matched-filtering search for binaries with compact objects having large tidal deformabilities in the LIGO-Virgo gravitational wave (GW) data. The tid…
Self-Interacting Gravitational Atoms in the Strong-Gravity Regime
Horng Sheng Chia, Christoffel Doorman, Alexandra Wernersson +2
We numerically investigate free and self-interacting ultralight scalar fields around black holes in General Relativity. We focus on complex scalar fields whose self-interaction…
Dimensionally Reduced Waveforms for Spin-Induced Quadrupole Searches
Horng Sheng Chia, Thomas D. P. Edwards, Richard N. George +5
We present highly accurate, dimensionally-reduced gravitational waveforms for binary inspirals whose components have large spin-induced quadrupole moments. The spin-induced quadrup…
Efficient Gravitational Wave Template Bank Generation with Differentiable Waveforms
Adam Coogan, Thomas D. P. Edwards, Horng Sheng Chia +6
The most sensitive search pipelines for gravitational waves from compact binary mergers use matched filters to extract signals from the noisy data stream coming from gravitational…
Mapping the Likelihood of GW190521 with Diverse Mass and Spin Priors
Seth Olsen, Javier Roulet, Horng Sheng Chia +4
We map the likelihood of GW190521, the heaviest detected binary black hole (BBH) merger, by sampling under different mass and spin priors designed to be uninformative. We find that…
