Compact Binary Coalescence Sensitivity Estimates with Injection Campaigns during the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaborations' Fourth Observing Run

Reed Essick, Michael W. Coughlin, Michael Zevin +21

We describe the effort to characterize gravitational-wave searches and detector sensitivity to different types of compact binary coalescences during the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaborat…

How Many Times Should We Matched Filter Gravitational Wave Data? A Comparison of GstLAL's Online and Offline Performance

Prathamesh Joshi, Wanting Niu, Chad Hanna +34

Searches for gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences employ a process called matched filtering, in which gravitational wave strain data is cross-correlated against a b…

PINCH: Pipeline-Informed Noise Characterization in LIGO's Third Observing Run

Zach Yarbrough, Andre Guimaraes, Prathamesh Joshi +2

We present a method to identify and categorize gravitational wave candidate triggers identified by matched filtering gravitational wave searches (pipelines) caused by transient noi…

Searching for gravitational-wave signals from precessing black hole binaries with the GstLAL pipeline

Stefano Schmidt, Sarah Caudill, Jolien D. E. Creighton +36

Precession in Binary Black Holes (BBH) is caused by the failure of the Black Hole spins to be aligned and its study can open up new perspectives in gravitational waves (GW) astrono…

Background Filter: A method for removing signal contamination during significance estimation of a GstLAL anaysis

Prathamesh Joshi, Leo Tsukada, Chad Hanna

To evaluate the probability of a gravitational-wave candidate originating from noise, GstLAL collects noise statistics from the data it analyzes. Gravitational-wave signals of astr…

A binary tree approach to template placement for searches for gravitational waves from compact binary mergers

Chad Hanna, James Kennington, Shio Sakon +30

We demonstrate a new geometric method for fast template placement for searches for gravitational waves from the inspiral, merger and ringdown of compact binaries. The method is bas…
