Massive black hole binary systems and the NANOGrav 12.5 year results
Hannah Middleton, Alberto Sesana, Siyuan Chen +3
The North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves (NANOGrav) has recently reported evidence for the presence of a common stochastic signal across their array of puls…
Assessing gravitational-wave binary black hole candidates with Bayesian odds
Geraint Pratten, Alberto Vecchio
Gravitational waves from the coalescence of binary black holes can be distinguished from noise transients in a detector network through Bayesian model selection by exploiting the c…
Constraining the lensing of binary neutron stars from their stochastic background
Riccardo Buscicchio, Christopher J. Moore, Geraint Pratten +2
Gravitational wave (GW) transients from binary neutron star (BNS) coalescences can, in principle, be subject to gravitational lensing thereby increasing the amplitude and signal-to…
Gravitational-wave selection effects using neural-network classifiers
Davide Gerosa, Geraint Pratten, Alberto Vecchio
We present a novel machine-learning approach to estimate selection effects in gravitational-wave observations. Using techniques similar to those commonly employed in image classifi…
Constraining the lensing of binary black holes from their stochastic background
Riccardo Buscicchio, Christopher J. Moore, Geraint Pratten +3
Gravitational waves (GWs) are subject to gravitational lensing in the same way as electromagnetic radiation. However, to date, no unequivocal observation of a lensed GW transient h…
An Interactive Gravitational-Wave Detector Model for Museums and Fairs
S. J. Cooper, A. C. Green, H. R. Middleton +15
In 2015 the first observation of gravitational waves marked a breakthrough in astrophysics, and in technological research and development. The discovery of a gravitational-wave sig…
Milky Way Satellites Shining Bright in Gravitational Waves
Elinore Roebber, Riccardo Buscicchio, Alberto Vecchio +8
The population of Milky Way satellite galaxies is of great interest for cosmology, fundamental physics, and astrophysics. They represent the faint end of the galaxy luminosity func…
Populations of double white dwarfs in Milky Way satellites and their detectability with LISA
V. Korol, S. Toonen, A. Klein +8
Milky Way dwarf satellites are unique objects that encode the early structure formation and therefore represent a window into the high redshift Universe. So far, their study was co…
