Trends in the Population of Binary Black Holes Following the Fourth Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog: a Data-Driven Analysis

Nir Guttman, Ethan Payne, Paul D. Lasky +1

Current population models of binary black hole distributions are difficult to interpret because standard population inferences hinge on modeling choices, which can mask or mimic re…

Do both black holes spin in merging binaries? Evidence from GWTC-4 and astrophysical implications

Christian Adamcewicz, Nir Guttman, Paul D. Lasky +1

Angular momentum transport in high-mass stars is commonly modeled by extrapolating the behavior of better-observed low-mass stars. According to the conventional picture, the cores…

Evidence of the pair instability gap from black hole masses

Hui Tong, Maya Fishbach, Eric Thrane +13

Stellar theory predicts a forbidden range of black-hole masses between -- due to pair-instability supernovae, but evidence for such a gap in the mass distri…

A Gaussian process framework for testing general relativity with gravitational waves

Lachlan Passenger, Shun Yin Cheung, Nir Guttman +3

Gravitational-wave astronomy provides a promising avenue for the discovery of new physics beyond general relativity as it probes extreme curvature and ultra-relativistic dynamics.…

Modelling noise in gravitational-wave observatories with transdimensional models

Nir Guttman, Paul D. Lasky, Eric Thrane

Modelling noise in gravitational-wave observatories is crucial for accurately inferring the properties of gravitational-wave sources. We introduce a transdimensional Bayesian appro…
