GW070605: An Undisclosed Binary Neutron Star Hardware Injection in LIGO's Fifth Science Run

Heather Fong, Kipp Cannon, Chi-Wai Chan +7

The authors wished to document the sensitivity improvement that has been contributed to the GW detection rate by detection algorithm research and development efforts, and set about…

Estimation of the Hubble parameter from unedited compact object merger catalogues

Reiko Harada, Heather Fong, Kipp Cannon

In recent years, constraints on the Hubble parameter using multiple dark sirens have been made,relying on a galaxy catalogue, correlations between the mass and redshift distributio…

GSpyNetTreeS: a machine learning solution for glitch localization in time and frequency

Man Leong Chan, Jess McIver, Yannick Lecoeuche +6

Data from ground-based gravitational wave detectors are often contaminated by non-Gaussian instrumental artifacts or detector noise transients. Unbiased source property estimation…

GW231109_235456: A Sub-threshold Binary Neutron Star Merger in the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA O4a Observing Run?

Wanting Niu, Carl-Johan Haster, Jolien D. E. Creighton +25

We present a subthreshold search for gravitational-wave inspirals from binary neutron stars using data from the first part of the fourth observing run of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Colla…

Template bank for sub solar mass compact binary mergers in the fourth observing run of Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo, and KAGRA

Chad Hanna, James Kennington, Wanting Niu +38

Matched-filtering searches for gravitational-wave signals from compact binary mergers employ template banks which are a collection of modeled waveforms described by unique intrinsi…

Detectability of lensed gravitational waves in matched-filtering searches

Juno C. L. Chan, Eungwang Seo, Alvin K. Y. Li +2

Gravitational lensing by compact, small-scale intervening masses causes frequency-dependent distortions to gravitational-wave events. The optimal signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is oft…
