SGN: A python framework for stream-processing pipelines

Yun-Jing Huang, Olivia Godwin, Chad Hanna +11

We present the Stream Graph Navigator (SGN), a lightweight Python framework for building streaming data applications. In SGN, stream-processing pipelines are built by connecting co…

No persuasive evidence yet of gravitational-wave tails from perturbers along the line of sight in LVK observations

Kuba Kopczuk, Ethan Blake, Matthew F. Carney +7

Observations of compact binary coalescences (CBCs) by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration resulted in 90 events in the first three observing runs. We search the data near the loudes…

Method to get Better Sky Maps in a GstLAL Low-Latency Analysis

Prathamesh Joshi, Becca Ewing, Chad Hanna +40

Modeled gravitational wave searches correlate the strain data with a bank of gravitational wave template waveforms to make detections of gravitational wave candidates, and these re…

New Methods for Offline GstLAL Analyses

Prathamesh Joshi, Leo Tsukada, Chad Hanna +38

In this work, we present new methods implemented in the GstLAL offline gravitational wave search. These include a technique to reuse the matched filtering data products from a GstL…

How Many Times Should We Matched Filter Gravitational Wave Data? A Comparison of GstLAL's Online and Offline Performance

Prathamesh Joshi, Wanting Niu, Chad Hanna +34

Searches for gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences employ a process called matched filtering, in which gravitational wave strain data is cross-correlated against a b…

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…

Searching for asymmetric and heavily precessing Binary Black Holes in the gravitational wave data from the LIGO and Virgo third Observing Run

Stefano Schmidt, Sarah Caudill, Jolien D. E. Creighton +37

Leveraging the features of the GstLAL pipeline, we present the results of a matched filtering search for asymmetric binary black hole systems with heavily misaligned spins in LIGO…

Searching for gravitational-wave signals from precessing black hole binaries with the GstLAL pipeline

Stefano Schmidt, Sarah Caudill, Jolien D. E. Creighton +36

Precession in Binary Black Holes (BBH) is caused by the failure of the Black Hole spins to be aligned and its study can open up new perspectives in gravitational waves (GW) astrono…

Reconstructing the calibrated strain signal in the Advanced LIGO detectors

A. D. Viets, M. Wade, A. L. Urban +14

Advanced LIGO's raw detector output needs to be calibrated to compute dimensionless strain h(t). Calibrated strain data is produced in the time domain using both a low-latency, onl…
