A Note on Compactness and Clique Size
David V. Feldman, Alexander Wilce
Say that a topological space has finite, respectively bounded, cliques iff every closed, irreflexive binary relation --- equivalently, every closed, loop-free directed graph --…
Training a neural network to rapidly identify candidate gravitational-wave events in the lower mass gap
Nayyer Raza, Man Leong Chan, Daryl Haggard +5
The physics governing the boundary between the most massive neutron stars (NSs) and the least massive black holes (BHs) is currently uncertain, but could potentially be constrained…
The LISA Astrophysics MBHcatalogues Project: A comparison of predictions of simulated massive black hole binaries
David Izquierdo-Villalba, Melanie Habouzit, Matteo Bonetti +67
In the hierarchical paradigm of galaxy formation, central massive black holes (MBHs) are expected to coalesce after the merger of their host galaxies. One of the main goals of the…
Predicting Potential Host Galaxies of Supermassive Black Hole Binaries Based on Stellar Kinematics in Archival IFU Surveys
Patrick Horlaville, John J. Ruan, Michael Eracleous +3
Supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) at the centers of galaxies emit continuous gravitational waves (GWs) at nanohertz frequencies, and ongoing pulsar timing array (PTA) exper…
Signatures of Massive Black Hole Merger Host Galaxies from Cosmological Simulations II: Unique Stellar Kinematics in Integral Field Unit Spectroscopy
Jaeden Bardati, John J. Ruan, Daryl Haggard +2
Secure methods for identifying the host galaxies of individual massive black hole (MBH) binaries and mergers detected by gravitational wave experiments such as LISA and Pulsar Timi…
Spectroscopic r-Process Abundance Retrieval for Kilonovae III: Linking Spectral and Light Curve Modeling of the GW170817 Kilonova
Nicholas Vieira, John J. Ruan, Daryl Haggard +2
The observed spectra and light curves of the kilonova produced by the GW170817 binary neutron star merger provide complementary insights, but modeling both the spectral- and time-d…
