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…
