Line-of-Sight Acceleration-driven waveform corrections for unequal-mass compact binary coalescences

Mohd Asim Ansari, Avinash Tiwari, Sajad A. Bhat +2

A constant line-of-sight acceleration (LOSA) of the centre-of-mass of a quasi-circular compact binary coalescence (CBC) leads to modulations in the gravitational-wave (GW) waveform…

Line-of-sight Acceleration Driven Effects in Eccentric Compact Binary Coalescences

Mohd Asim Ansari, Avinash Tiwari, Sajad A. Bhat +2

The line-of-sight acceleration (LOSA) effect, imprinted in the gravitational wave (GW) signal of an inspiralling compact binary by an external gravitational potential, is one of th…

Identifying and characterizing extragalactic circum-CBC exoplanets with future gravitational-wave detectors

Avinash Tiwari, Aditya Vijaykumar, Shasvath J. Kapadia +1

Exoplanets are high-value targets for a variety of ground and space-based telescopes. All known exoplanets are Galactic, and a fraction of them orbit compact objects. In this work,…

Periodic line-of-sight velocity-driven modulations to gravitational waves emitted by compact binaries in Keplerian outer orbits

Avinash Tiwari, Shasvath J. Kapadia, Aditya Vijaykumar +1

The centre of mass (CoM) of compact binary coalescences (CBCs) occurring in the vicinity of a supermassive black hole, through interaction with an arbitrary third body (e.g., of st…

Coalescence Forensics: Weighing the Hosts of Hierarchical Binary Black Hole Mergers

Avinash Tiwari, Shasvath J. Kapadia

We present a novel framework to infer the mass of clusters that host hierarchical binary black hole (BBH) mergers detected with gravitational-waves (GWs), on a single event basis.…

Gravitational Wave Informed Inference of 21-cm Global Signal Parameters

Avinash Tiwari, Sajad A. Bhat, Tirthankar Roy Choudhury +3

Understanding how and when the first stars and galaxies formed remains one of the central challenges in modern cosmology. These structures emerged during the transition from the Da…

Testing the nature of GW200105 by probing the frequency evolution of eccentricity

Avinash Tiwari, Sajad A. Bhat, Md Arif Shaikh +1

GW200105 is a compact binary coalescence (CBC) event, consisting of a neutron star and a black hole, observed in LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA's (LVK's) third observing run (O3). Recent reanaly…

Profiling Dark Matter Spikes with Gravitational Waves from Accelerated Binaries

Avinash Tiwari, Prolay Chanda, Shasvath J. Kapadia +3

Dark matter halos can develop a density spike, e.g., around a galactic supermassive black hole, with the profile determined both by the galaxy's formatio…

Eccentricity evolution consistency test to distinguish eccentric gravitational-wave signals from eccentricity mimickers

Sajad A. Bhat, Avinash Tiwari, Md Arif Shaikh +1

Eccentric compact binary coalescences (CBCs) are expected to be observed in current and future gravitational-wave (GW) detector networks. However, it has been recently pointed out…

A pipeline to search for signatures of line-of-sight acceleration in gravitational wave signals produced by compact binary coalescences

Avinash Tiwari, Aditya Vijaykumar, Shasvath J. Kapadia +2

Compact binary coalescences (CBCs), such as merging binary black holes (BBHs), binary neutron stars (BNSs), or neutron star black holes (NSBHs), hosted by dense stellar environment…

Profiling stellar environments of gravitational wave sources

Avinash Tiwari, Aditya Vijaykumar, Shasvath J. Kapadia +2

Gravitational waves (GWs) have enabled direct detections of compact binary coalescences (CBCs). However, their poor sky localisation and the typical lack of observable electromagne…

Accelerated binary black holes in globular clusters: forecasts and detectability in the era of space-based gravitational-wave detectors

Avinash Tiwari, Aditya Vijaykumar, Shasvath J. Kapadia +2

The motion of the center of mass of a coalescing binary black hole (BBH) in a gravitational potential imprints a line-of-sight acceleration (LOSA) onto the emitted gravitational wa…

Waltzing binaries: Probing line-of-sight acceleration of merging compact objects with gravitational waves

Aditya Vijaykumar, Avinash Tiwari, Shasvath J. Kapadia +2

Line-of-sight acceleration of a compact binary coalescence (CBC) event would modulate the shape of the gravitational waves (GWs) it produces with respect to the corresponding non-a…
