Bilby: A user-friendly Bayesian inference library for gravitational-wave astronomy

Gregory Ashton, Moritz Huebner, Paul D. Lasky +18

Bayesian parameter estimation is fast becoming the language of gravitational-wave astronomy. It is the method by which gravitational-wave data is used to infer the sources' astroph…

Hierarchical Bayesian method for detecting continuous gravitational waves from an ensemble of pulsars

M. Pitkin, C. Messenger, X. Fan

When looking for gravitational wave signals from known pulsars, targets have been treated using independent searches. Here we use a hierarchical Bayesian framework to combine obser…

OctApps: a library of Octave functions for continuous gravitational-wave data analysis

Karl Wette, Reinhard Prix, David Keitel +4

Gravitational waves are minute ripples in spacetime, first predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity in 1916. Gravitational waves from rapidly-rotating neutron stars, wh…

psrqpy: a python interface for querying the ATNF pulsar catalogue

Matthew Pitkin

This Python module provides an interface for querying the Australia Telescope National Facility (ATNF) pulsar catalogue (Manchester et al. 2005). The intended users are astronomers…

Evidence for a minimum ellipticity in millisecond pulsars

G. Woan, M. D. Pitkin, B. Haskell +2

Neutron stars spin down over time due to a number of energy-loss processes. We provide tantalizing population-based evidence that millisecond pulsars (MSPs) have a minimum elliptic…
