The GstLAL Search Analysis Methods for Compact Binary Mergers in Advanced LIGO's Second and Advanced Virgo's First Observing Runs
Surabhi Sachdev, Sarah Caudill, Heather Fong +26
After their successful first observing run (September 12, 2015 - January 12, 2016), the Advanced LIGO detectors were upgraded to increase their sensitivity for the second observing…
Template bank for spinning compact binary mergers in the second observation run of Advanced LIGO and the first observation run of Advanced Virgo
Debnandini Mukherjee, Sarah Caudill, Ryan Magee +25
We describe the methods used to construct the aligned-spin template bank of gravitational waveforms used by the GstLAL-based inspiral pipeline to analyze data from the second obser…
Analysis Framework for the Prompt Discovery of Compact Binary Mergers in Gravitational-wave Data
Cody Messick, Kent Blackburn, Patrick Brady +24
We describe a stream-based analysis pipeline to detect gravitational waves from the merger of binary neutron stars, binary black holes, and neutron-star-black-hole binaries within…
Testing General Relativity with Present and Future Astrophysical Observations
Emanuele Berti, Enrico Barausse, Vitor Cardoso +50
One century after its formulation, Einstein's general relativity has made remarkable predictions and turned out to be compatible with all experimental tests. Most of these tests pr…
Star Clusters and Dark Matter as Probes of the Spacetime Geometry of Massive Black Holes
Laleh Sadeghian
This thesis includes two main projects. In the first part, we assess the feasibility of a recently suggested strong-field general relativity test, in which future observations of a…
Dark matter distributions around massive black holes: A general relativistic analysis
Laleh Sadeghian, Francesc Ferrer, Clifford M. Will
The cold dark matter at the center of a galaxy will be redistributed by the presence of a massive black hole. The redistribution may be determined using an approach pioneered by Go…
Testing the black hole no-hair theorem at the galactic center: Perturbing effects of stars in the surrounding cluster
Laleh Sadeghian, Clifford M. Will
Observations of the precessing orbits of stars very near the massive black hole in the galactic center could provide measurements of the spin and quadrupole moment of the hole and…
Quantum induced w = -1 crossing of the quintessence and phantom models
M. Alimohammadi, L. Sadeghian
Considering the single scalar field models of dark energy, i.e. the quintessence and phantom models, it is shown that the quantum effects can cause the system crosses the w = -1 li…
