Inferring Parameters of GW170502: The Loudest Intermediate-mass Black Hole Trigger in LIGO's O1/O2 data

Richard Udall, Karan Jani, Jacob Lange +5

Gravitational wave (GW) measurements provide the most robust constraints of the mass of astrophysical black holes. Using state-of-the-art GW signal models and a unique parameter es…

Detectability of Intermediate-Mass Black Holes in Multiband Gravitational Wave Astronomy

Karan Jani, Deirdre Shoemaker, Curt Cutler

The direct measurement of gravitational waves is a powerful tool for surveying the population of black holes across the universe. The first gravitational wave catalog from LIGO has…

Coping with Junk Radiation in Binary Black Hole Simulations

Kenny Higginbotham, Bhavesh Khamesra, Jame P. McInerney +3

Spurious junk radiation in the initial data for binary black hole numerical simulations has been an issue of concern. The radiation affects the masses and spins of the black holes,…

Post-merger chirps from binary black holes as probes of the final black-hole horizon

Juan Calderón Bustillo, Chris Evans, James A. Clark +3

The merger of a binary black hole gives birth to a highly distorted final black hole. The gravitational radiation emitted as this black hole relaxes presents us with the unique opp…

Measuring Spin of the Remnant Black Hole from Maximum Amplitude

Deborah Ferguson, Sudarshan Ghonge, James A. Clark +3

Gravitational waves emitted during the merger of two black holes carry information about the remnant black hole, namely its mass and spin. This information is typically found from…

On the properties of the massive binary black hole merger GW170729

Katerina Chatziioannou, Roberto Cotesta, Sudarshan Ghonge +53

We present a detailed investigation into the properties of GW170729, the gravitational wave with the most massive and distant source confirmed to date. We employ an extensive set o…
