A search technique to observe precessing compact binary mergers in the advanced detector era
Connor McIsaac, Charlie Hoy, Ian Harry
Gravitational-wave signals from compact binary coalescences are most efficiently identified through matched filter searches, which match the data against a pre-generated bank of gr…
Using machine learning to auto-tune chi-squared tests for gravitational wave searches
Connor McIsaac, Ian Harry
The sensitivity of gravitational wave searches is reduced by the presence of non-Gaussian noise in the detector data. These non-Gaussianities often match well with the template wav…
Salient features of the optimised PyCBC IMBH search
Koustav Chandra, Archana Pai, V. Villa-Ortega +5
Matched-filter based PyCBC searches have successfully detected compact binary merger signals in the LIGO-Virgo data. While most PyCBC searches have been desi…
An optimized PyCBC search for gravitational waves from intermediate-mass black hole mergers
Koustav Chandra, V. Villa-Ortega, T. Dent +5
The detection of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) i.e. those with mass -, is an emerging goal of gravitational-wave (GW) astronomy with wide implicatio…
LIGO Detector Characterization in the Second and Third Observing Runs
D. Davis, J. S. Areeda, B. K. Berger +284
The characterization of the Advanced LIGO detectors in the second and third observing runs has increased the sensitivity of the instruments, allowing for a higher number of detecta…
Search for strongly lensed counterpart images of binary black hole mergers in the first two LIGO observing runs
Connor McIsaac, David Keitel, Thomas Collett +4
Strong gravitational lensing can produce multiple images of the same gravitational-wave signal, each arriving at different times and with different magnification. Previous work has…
