Factorized Parameter Estimation for Real-Time Gravitational Wave Inference
Tousif Islam, Javier Roulet, Tejaswi Venumadhav
We present a parameter estimation framework for gravitational wave (GW) signals that brings together several ideas to accelerate the inference process. First, we use the relative b…
Removing degeneracy and multimodality in gravitational wave source parameters
Javier Roulet, Seth Olsen, Jonathan Mushkin +4
Quasicircular binary black hole mergers are described by 15 parameters, of which gravitational wave observations can typically constrain only independent combinations to…
Surrogate model for gravitational wave signals from non-spinning, comparable- to large-mass-ratio black hole binaries built on black hole perturbation theory waveforms calibrated to numerical relativity
Tousif Islam, Scott E. Field, Scott A. Hughes +6
We present a reduced-order surrogate model of gravitational waveforms from non-spinning binary black hole systems with comparable to large mass-ratio configurations. This surrogate…
Evidence of large recoil velocity from a black hole merger signal
Vijay Varma, Sylvia Biscoveanu, Tousif Islam +6
The final black hole left behind after a binary black hole merger can attain a recoil velocity, or a "kick", reaching values up to 5000 km/s. This phenomenon has important implicat…
