Model-independent search for anisotropies in stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds and application to LIGO-Virgo's first three observing Runs
Liting Xiao, Arianna I. Renzini, Alan J. Weinstein
A stochastic gravitational-wave (GW) background consists of a large number of weak, independent and uncorrelated events of astrophysical or cosmological origin. The GW power on the…
A follow-up on intermediate-mass black hole candidates in the second LIGO-Virgo observing run with the Bayes Coherence Ratio
Avi Vajpeyi, Rory Smith, Eric Thrane +7
The detection of an intermediate-mass black hole population ( ) will provide clues to their formation environments (e.g., disks of active galactic nuclei, glo…
Point absorbers in Advanced LIGO
Aidan F. Brooks, Gabriele Vajente, Hiro Yamamoto +198
Small, highly absorbing points are randomly present on the surfaces of the main interferometer optics in Advanced LIGO. The resulting nano-meter scale thermo-elastic deformations a…
Realtime search for compact binary mergers in Advanced LIGO and Virgo's third observing run using PyCBC Live
Tito Dal Canton, Alexander H. Nitz, Bhooshan Gadre +5
The third observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo took place between April 2019 and March 2020 and resulted in dozens of gravitational-wave candidates, many of which are…
The Occurrence of Compact Groups of Galaxies Through Cosmic Time
Christopher D. Wiens, Trey V. Wenger, Panayiotis Tzanavaris +3
We use the outputs of a semi-analytical model of galaxy formation run on the Millennium Simulation to investigate the prevalence of 3D compact groups (CGs) of galaxies from $z = 11…
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…
