What You Don't Know Won't Hurt You: Self-Consistent Hierarchical Inference with Unknown Follow-up Selection Strategies
Reed Essick, Amanda M. Farah
Many astronomical surveys prompt follow-up observations, but the decision process through which candidates are selected for follow-up can be difficult to model. This poses a challe…
Semianalytic Sensitivity Estimates for Out-of-Bank Gravitational-Wave Signals
Aditya Vijaykumar, Reed Essick
Estimating the sensitivity of gravitational-wave searches is important for a wide variety of scientific applications spanning astrophysics and fundamental physics. In this work, we…
Guesswork in the gap: the impact of uncertainty in the compact binary population on source classification
Utkarsh Mali, Reed Essick
The nature of the compact objects within the supposed "lower mass gap" remains uncertain. Observations of GW190814 and GW230529 highlight the challenges gravitational waves face in…
Distinguishing between Black Holes and Neutron Stars within a Population of Weak Tidal Measurements
Michael Müller, Reed Essick
We study the ability of tidal signatures within the inspiral of compact binaries observed through gravitational waves (GWs) to distinguish between neutron stars (NSs) and black hol…
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…
Striking a Chord with Spectral Sirens: multiple features in the compact binary population correlate with
Utkarsh Mali, Reed Essick
Spectral siren measurements of the Hubble constant () rely on correlations between observed detector-frame masses and luminosity distances. Features in the source-frame mass d…
A neural network emulator of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo selection function
Thomas A. Callister, Reed Essick, Daniel E. Holz
Characterization of search selection effects comprises a core element of gravitational-wave data analysis. Knowledge of selection effects is needed to predict observational prospec…
When to Sweat the Small Stuff: identifying the most informative events from ground-based gravitational-wave detectors
Reed Essick, Daniel E. Holz
We explore scaling relations for the information carried by individual events, and how that information accumulates in catalogs like those from ground-based gravitational-wave dete…
Exotic Stable Branches with Efficient TOV Sequences
Reed Essick
Modern inference schemes for the neutron star equation of state (EoS) require large numbers of stellar models constructed with different EoS, and these stellar models must capture…
