Rethinking Resonance Detectability during Binary Neutron Star Inspiral: Accurate Mismatch Computations for Low-lying Dynamical Tides

Alberto Revilla-Peña, Ruxandra Bondarescu, Andrew P. Lundgren +1

We compute deviations from observed gravitational wave signals, where the amplitude of the signal is unchanged. As an example, we consider the detectability of low lying dynamical…

Inference with finite time series II: the window strikes back

Colm Talbot, Sylvia Biscoveanu, Aaron Zimmerman +9

Smooth window functions are often applied to strain data when inferring the parameters describing the astrophysical sources of gravitational-wave transients. Within the LIGO-Virgo-…

Possible Causes of False General Relativity Violations in Gravitational Wave Observations

Anuradha Gupta, K. G. Arun, Enrico Barausse +40

General relativity (GR) has proven to be a highly successful theory of gravity since its inception. The theory has thrivingly passed numerous experimental tests, predominantly in w…

A Sensitive Test of Non-Gaussianity in Gravitational-wave Detector Data

Ronaldas Macas, Andrew Lundgren

Methods for parameter estimation of gravitational-wave data assume that detector noise is stationary and Gaussian. Real data deviates from these assumptions, which causes bias in t…

ArchEnemy: Removing scattered-light glitches from gravitational wave data

Arthur E. Tolley, Gareth S. Cabourn Davies, Ian W. Harry +1

Data recorded by gravitational wave detectors includes many non-astrophysical transient noise bursts, the most common of which is caused by scattered-light within the detectors. Th…

Compact Binaries through a Lens: Silent vs. Detectable Microlensing for the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Gravitational Wave Observatories

Ruxandra Bondarescu, Helena Ubach, Oleg Bulashenko +1

Massive objects located between Earth and a compact binary merger can act as a magnifying glass improving the sensitivity of gravitational wave detectors to distant events. Dependi…
