What You Don't Know Won't Hurt You: Self-Consistent Hierarchical Inference with Unknown Follow-up Selection Strategies
Reed Essick, Amanda M. Farah
Many astronomical surveys prompt follow-up observations, but the decision process through which candidates are selected for follow-up can be difficult to model. This poses a challe…
Evidence of the pair instability gap from black hole masses
Hui Tong, Maya Fishbach, Eric Thrane +13
Stellar theory predicts a forbidden range of black-hole masses between -- due to pair-instability supernovae, but evidence for such a gap in the mass distri…
Wide Jets or Low Rates: Reconciling Short GRB and Gravitational-Wave Neutron Star Merger Rates
Keerthi Kunnumkai, Antonella Palmese, Brendan O'Connor +2
Gravitational wave (GW) and short Gamma Ray Burst (sGRB) observations provide us with complementary views of compact object mergers. The paucity of binary neutron star merger (BNS)…
The steep redshift evolution of the hierarchical binary black hole merger rate may cause the - correlation
Amanda M. Farah, Aditya Vijaykumar, Maya Fishbach
There is growing evidence from gravitational-wave observations that some merging black holes are created from previous mergers. Using the prediction that these hierarchically merge…
The maximum mass ratio of hierarchical binary black hole mergers may cause the - correlation
Aditya Vijaykumar, Amanda M. Farah, Maya Fishbach
Regardless of their initial spins, the merger of two roughly equal mass black holes (BHs) produces a remnant BH of dimensionless spin . Such remnants can merge with other BHs…
Gravitational lensing rarely produces high-mass outliers to the compact binary population
Amanda M. Farah, Jose MarÃa Ezquiaga, Maya Fishbach +1
All gravitational-wave signals are inevitably gravitationally lensed by intervening matter as they propagate through the Universe. When a gravitational-wave signal is magnified, it…
