Measurement prospects for the pair-instability mass cutoff with gravitational waves
Matthew Mould, Jack Heinzel, Sofia Alvarez-Lopez +3
Pair-instability supernovae leave behind no compact remnants, resulting in a predicted gap in the distribution of stellar black-hole masses. Gravitational waves from binary black-h…
When (not) to trust Monte Carlo approximations for hierarchical Bayesian inference
Jack Heinzel, Salvatore Vitale
The coming years of gravitational wave astrophysics promises thousands of new detections, which can unlock fundamental scientific insights if the information in each observation ca…
Nowhere left to hide: revealing realistic gravitational-wave populations in high dimensions and high resolution with PixelPop
Sofia Alvarez-Lopez, Jack Heinzel, Matthew Mould +1
The origins of merging compact binaries observed by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA gravitational-wave detectors remain uncertain, with multiple astrophysical channels possibly contributing t…
The Long Road to Alignment: Measuring Black Hole Spin Orientation with Expanding Gravitational-Wave Datasets
Salvatore Vitale, Matthew Mould
Measuring the distribution of spin tilts-the angles between the spin vectors and the binary orbital angular momentum-in stellar-mass binary black holes detected by LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA…
Nonparametric analysis of correlations in the binary black hole population with LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA data
Jack Heinzel, Matthew Mould, Salvatore Vitale
Formation channels of merging compact binaries imprint themselves on the distributions and correlations of their source parameters, but current understanding of this population is…
PixelPop: High Resolution Nonparameteric Inference of Gravitational-Wave Populations in Multiple Dimensions
Jack Heinzel, Matthew Mould, Sofía Álvarez-López +1
The origins of merging compact binaries observed by gravitational-wave detectors remains highly uncertain. Several astrophysical channels may contribute to the overall merger rate,…
