Can LIGO Detect Daylight Savings Time?
Reed Essick
Yes, it can. Catalogs produced by networks of Gravitational-wave interferometers are subject to complicated selection effects, and the gold-standard remains direct measurements of…
Compact Binary Coalescence Sensitivity Estimates with Injection Campaigns during the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaborations' Fourth Observing Run
Reed Essick, Michael W. Coughlin, Michael Zevin +21
We describe the effort to characterize gravitational-wave searches and detector sensitivity to different types of compact binary coalescences during the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaborat…
Unified nonparametric equation-of-state inference from the neutron-star crust to perturbative-QCD densities
Eliot Finch, Isaac Legred, Katerina Chatziioannou +3
Perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD), while valid only at densities exceeding those found in the cores of neutron stars, could provide constraints on the dense-matter equatio…
Nonparametric extensions of nuclear equations of state: probing the breakdown scale of relativistic mean-field theory
Isaac Legred, Liam Brodie, Alexander Haber +2
Phenomenological calculations of the properties of dense matter, such as relativistic mean-field theories, represent a pathway to predicting the microscopic and macroscopic propert…
