Prospects for the formation of GW231123 from the AGN channel
V. Delfavero, S. Ray, H. E. Cook +6
The recent binary black hole (BBH) merger GW231123 consisted of the merger of two intermediate mass black holes (IMBH) which appear to have large spin magnitudes. Active galactic n…
Recovering Injected Astrophysics from the LISA Galactic Double White Dwarf Binaries
Vera Delfavero, Katelyn Breivik, Sarah Thiele +2
We present the successful recovery of common envelope ejection efficiency assumed in a simulated population of double white dwarf binaries like those which may be observed by the f…
Iteratively Comparing Gravitational-Wave Observations to the Evolution of Massive Stellar Binaries
Vera Delfavero, Richard O'Shaughnessy, Krzysztof Belczynski +2
Gravitational-wave observations have the capability to strongly differentiate between different assumptions for how binary compact objects form. In this work, we show how to carefu…
Gravitational wave source populations: Disentangling an AGN component
V. Gayathri, Daniel Wysocki, Y. Yang +4
The astrophysical origin of the over 90 compact binary mergers discovered by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave observatories is an open question. While the unusual mass and spi…
Normal Approximate Likelihoods to Gravitational Wave Events
Vera Delfavero, Richard O'Shaughnessy, Daniel Wysocki +1
Gravitational wave observations of quasicircular compact binary mergers in principle provide an arbitrarily complex likelihood over eight independent intrinsic parameters: the mass…
