Inferring Mbh-Mbulge Evolution from the Gravitational Wave Background

Cayenne Matt, Kayhan Gultekin, Luke Kelley +104

We test the impact of an evolving supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass scaling relation (Mbh-Mbulge) on the predictions for the gravitational wave background (GWB). The observed GWB…

MaxWave: Rapid maximum likelihood wavelet reconstruction of non-Gaussian features in gravitational wave data

Sudhi Mathur, Neil J. Cornish

Advancements in the sensitivity of gravitational wave detectors have increased the detection rate of transient astrophysical signals. We improve the existing BayesWave initializati…

Escaping Neal's Funnel: a multi-stage sampling method for hierarchical models

Aiden Gundersen, Neil J. Cornish

Neal's funnel refers to an exponential tapering in probability densities common to Bayesian hierarchical models. Usual sampling methods, such as Markov Chain Monte Carlo, struggle…

Rapid inference for individual binaries and a stochastic background with pulsar timing array data

Aiden Gundersen, Neil J. Cornish

The analysis of pulsar timing array data has provided evidence for a gravitational wave background in the nanohertz band. This raises the question of what is the source of the sign…

Uncertainty-aware waveform modeling for high signal-to-noise ratio gravitational-wave inference

Simone Mezzasoma, Carl-Johan Haster, Caroline B. Owen +2

Semi-analytical waveform models for black hole binaries require calibration against numerical relativity waveforms to accurately represent the late inspiral and merger, where analy…

Characterizing Continuous Gravitational Waves from Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in Realistic Pulsar Timing Array Data

Emiko C. Gardiner, Bence Bécsy, Luke Zoltan Kelley +1

Pulsar timing arrays recently found evidence for a gravitational wave background (GWB), likely the stochastic overlap of GWs from many supermassive black hole binaries. Anticipatin…
