LIGO A: Detector Design and Science Prospects Beyond A+
L. Sun, K. Kuns, B. J. J. Slagmolen +1153
We present the LIGO A detector concept, an upgrade for the LIGO observatories based on room-temperature interferometers beyond the fifth observing run (O5). Building on th…
Low-mass failed supernovae and the peak in the merging black hole mass distribution
Isaac Legred, Jacob Golomb, Katerina Chatziioannou
Gravitational-wave observations reveal that the rate of merging black holes drops by orders of magnitude from component masses to .…
Inspiral tests of general relativity and waveform geometry
Brian C. Seymour, Jacob Golomb, Yanbei Chen
The phase evolution of gravitational waves encodes critical information about the orbital dynamics of binary systems. In this work, we test the robustness of parameterized tests ag…
Inference with finite time series II: the window strikes back
Colm Talbot, Sylvia Biscoveanu, Aaron Zimmerman +9
Smooth window functions are often applied to strain data when inferring the parameters describing the astrophysical sources of gravitational-wave transients. Within the LIGO-Virgo-…
Significant challenges for astrophysical inference with next-generation gravitational-wave observatories
A. Makai Baker, Paul D. Lasky, Eric Thrane +1
The next generation of gravitational-wave observatories will achieve unprecedented strain sensitivities with an expanded observing band. They will detect binary ne…
The interplay of astrophysics and nuclear physics in determining the properties of neutron stars
Jacob Golomb, Isaac Legred, Katerina Chatziioannou +1
Neutron star properties depend on both nuclear physics and astrophysical processes, and thus observations of neutron stars offer constraints on both large-scale astrophysics and th…
GWPopulation: Hardware agnostic population inference for compact binaries and beyond
Colm Talbot, Amanda Farah, Shanika Galaudage +2
Since the first direct detection of gravitational waves by the LIGO--Virgo collaboration in 2015, the size of the gravitational-wave transient catalog has grown to nearly 100 event…
Projections of the uncertainty on the compact binary population background using popstock
Arianna I. Renzini, Jacob Golomb
The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration has announced the detection of almost 100 binary black holes so far, which have been used in several studies to infer the features of the underly…
Using Equation of State Constraints to Classify Low-Mass Compact Binary Mergers
Jacob Golomb, Isaac Legred, Katerina Chatziioannou +2
Compact objects observed via gravitational waves are classified as black holes or neutron stars primarily based on their inferred mass with respect to stellar evolution expectation…
Physical Models for the Astrophysical Population of Black Holes: Application to the Bump in the Mass Distribution of Gravitational Wave Sources
Jacob Golomb, Maximiliano Isi, Will Farr
Gravitational wave observations of binary black holes have revealed unexpected structure in the black hole mass distribution. Previous studies of the mass distribution employ physi…
Angular power spectrum of gravitational-wave transient sources as a probe of the large-scale structure
Yanyan Zheng, Nikolaos Kouvatsos, Jacob Golomb +3
We present a new, simulation-based inference method to compute the angular power spectrum of the distribution of foreground gravitational-wave transient events. As a first applicat…
Growing Pains: Understanding the Impact of Likelihood Uncertainty on Hierarchical Bayesian Inference for Gravitational-Wave Astronomy
Colm Talbot, Jacob Golomb
Observations of gravitational waves emitted by merging compact binaries have provided tantalising hints about stellar astrophysics, cosmology, and fundamental physics. However, the…
Electromagnetic Emission from a Binary Black Hole Merger Remnant in Plasma: Field Alignment and Plasma Temperature
Bernard J. Kelly, Zachariah B. Etienne, Jacob Golomb +4
Comparable-mass black-hole mergers generically result in moderate to highly spinning holes, whose spacetime curvature will significantly affect nearby matter in observable ways. We…
: Planet or Noise?
Jacob Golomb, Graça Rocha, Tiffany Meshkat +5
The work presented here attempts at answering the question: how do we decide when a given adetection is a planet or just residual noise in exoplanet direct imaging data? To this en…
