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,…
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…
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…
Rapid inference and comparison of gravitational-wave population models with neural variational posteriors
Matthew Mould, Noah E. Wolfe, Salvatore Vitale
The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA catalog has been analyzed with an abundance of different population models due to theoretical uncertainty in the formation of gravitational-wave sources. To ex…
