Incorporating neutron star physics into gravitational wave inference with physics-informed priors using normalizing flows
Thibeau Wouters, Peter T. H. Pang, Tim Dietrich +1
Bayesian inference, widely used in gravitational-wave parameter estimation, depends on the choice of priors, i.e., on our previously existing knowledge. However, to investigate neu…
AT2025ulz and S250818k: Investigating early time observations of a subsolar mass gravitational-wave binary neutron star merger candidate
Xander J. Hall, Malte Busmann, Hauke Koehn +32
Over the past LIGO--Virgo--KAGRA (LVK) observing runs, it has become increasingly clear that identifying the next electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational-wave (GW) neutron st…
Analyzing GW231109_235456 and understanding its potential implications for population studies, nuclear physics, and multi-messenger astronomy
Thibeau Wouters, Anna Puecher, Peter T. H. Pang +1
We study the gravitational-wave trigger GW231109_235456, a sub-threshold binary neutron star merger candidate observed in the first part of the fourth observing run of the LIGO-Vir…
Efficient Bayesian analysis of kilonovae and gamma ray burst afterglows with fiesta
Hauke Koehn, Thibeau Wouters, Peter T. H. Pang +4
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows and kilonovae (KNe) are electromagnetic transients that can accompany binary neutron star (BNS) mergers. Therefore, studying their emission process…
Revealing tensions in neutron star observations with pressure anisotropy
Peter T. H. Pang, Stephanie M. Brown, Thibeau Wouters +1
Pressure isotropy, i.e., equality between radial and tangential pressure, is often assumed when studying neutron stars. However, mechanisms such as pion/kaon condensation, magnetic…
Leveraging differentiable programming in the inverse problem of neutron stars
Thibeau Wouters, Peter T. H. Pang, Hauke Koehn +5
Neutron stars (NSs) probe the high-density regime of the nuclear equation of state (EOS). However, inferring the EOS from observations of NSs is a computationally challenging task.…
Limits on the Ejecta Mass During the Search for Kilonovae Associated with Neutron Star-Black Hole Mergers: A case study of S230518h, GW230529, S230627c and the Low-Significance Candidate S240422ed
M. Pillas, S. Antier, K. Ackley +78
Neutron star-black hole (NSBH) mergers, detectable via their gravitational-wave (GW) emission, are expected to produce kilonovae (KNe). Four NSBH candidates have been identified an…
Employing deep-learning techniques for the conservative-to-primitive recovery in binary neutron star simulations
Ranjith Mudimadugula, Federico Schianchi, Anna Neuweiler +3
The detection of GW170817, together with its electromagnetic counterparts, has proven that binary neutron star mergers are of central importance to the field of nuclear astrophysic…
