GW231109_235456: A Sub-threshold Binary Neutron Star Merger in the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA O4a Observing Run?
Wanting Niu, Carl-Johan Haster, Jolien D. E. Creighton +25
We present a subthreshold search for gravitational-wave inspirals from binary neutron stars using data from the first part of the fourth observing run of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Colla…

Template bank for sub solar mass compact binary mergers in the fourth observing run of Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo, and KAGRA
Chad Hanna, James Kennington, Wanting Niu +38
Matched-filtering searches for gravitational-wave signals from compact binary mergers employ template banks which are a collection of modeled waveforms described by unique intrinsi…

Detectability of lensed gravitational waves in matched-filtering searches
Juno C. L. Chan, Eungwang Seo, Alvin K. Y. Li +2
Gravitational lensing by compact, small-scale intervening masses causes frequency-dependent distortions to gravitational-wave events. The optimal signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is oft…
