Spinformation: do gravitational-wave events carry information beyond effective spins?
Cailin Plunkett, Jack Heinzel, Noah E. Wolfe +2
While the spin vectors of binary black holes offer insight into the astrophysical formation channels of these systems, individual spins are less precisely measured through gravitat…
Binary-black hole spin population results may be driven by prior degeneracies
Noah E. Wolfe, Asad Hussain, Jack Heinzel +1
Gravitational waves carry information on the spins of merging binary-black holes. The orientations of their spins relative to their orbits ("tilts")---while challenging to measure-…
Reducing systematic uncertainties in gravitational-wave population analyses by increasing the detection threshold
Noah E. Wolfe, Matthew Mould, Jack Heinzel +1
From catalogs of gravitational-wave transients, the population-level properties of their sources and the formation channels of merging compact binaries can be constrained. However,…
Constraining Population III stellar demographics with next-generation gravitational-wave observatories
Cailin Plunkett, Matthew Mould, Salvatore Vitale
Next-generation gravitational-wave observatories will reach farther into the universe than currently possible, revealing black-hole mergers from early stellar binary systems such a…
Application of asymptotic expansions for maximum likelihood estimators' errors to gravitational waves from binary mergers: the network case
Salvatore Vitale, Michele Zanolin
This paper describes the most accurate analytical frequentist assessment to date of the uncertainties in the estimation of physical parameters from gravitational waves generated by…
