On the use and interpretation of signal-model indistinguishability measures for gravitational-wave astronomy
Jonathan E. Thompson, Charlie Hoy, Edward Fauchon-Jones +1
The difference ("mismatch") between two gravitational-wave (GW) signals is often used to estimate the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at which they will be distinguishable in a measure…

Waging a Campaign: Results from an Injection-Recovery Study involving 35 numerical Relativity Simulations and three Waveform Models
Sarp Akçay, Charlie Hoy, Jake Mac Uilliam
We present Bayesian inference results from an extensive injection-recovery campaign to test the validity of three state of the art quasicircular gravitational waveform models: \tex…

Incorporation of model accuracy in gravitational wave Bayesian inference
Charlie Hoy, Sarp Akcay, Jake Mac Uilliam +1
Inferring the properties of colliding black holes from gravitational-wave observations is subject to systematic errors arising from modelling uncertainties. Although the accuracy o…
