ArchGEM: an Advanced Data Analysis Tool for Analyzing Scattered Light Noise in LIGO
Kaylah McGowan, Shania Nichols, Siddharth Soni +4
Scattered light is one of the most common sources of non-stationary noise at low frequencies in Advanced LIGO detectors. It appears as arch-like features in time-frequency spectrog…

Interpretable Analytic Formulae for GWTC-4 Binary Black Hole Population Properties via Symbolic Regression
Chayan Chatterjee
Recent LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) analyses have revealed complex structure in the binary black hole (BBH) population, including distinct features in the primary mass spectrum and nontr…

The Sound of Noise: Leveraging the Inductive Bias of Pre-trained Audio Transformers for Glitch Identification in LIGO
Suyash Deshmukh, Chayan Chatterjee, Abigail Petulante +2
Transient noise artifacts, or glitches, fundamentally limit the sensitivity of gravitational-wave (GW) interferometers and can mimic true astrophysical signals, particularly the sh…
