Accelerated inference of binary black-hole populations from the stochastic gravitational-wave background
G. Giarda, A. I. Renzini, C. Pacilio +1
Third-generation ground-based gravitational wave detectors are expected to observe of overlapping signals per year from a multitude of astrophysical sources tha…
Ringdown mode amplitudes of precessing binary black holes
Francesco Nobili, Swetha Bhagwat, Costantino Pacilio +1
The ringdown phase of a binary black-hole merger encodes key information about the remnant properties and provides a direct probe of the strong-field regime of General Relativity.…
Sampling the full hierarchical population posterior distribution in gravitational-wave astronomy
Michele Mancarella, Davide Gerosa
We present a full sampling of the hierarchical population posterior distribution of merging black holes using current gravitational-wave data. We directly tackle the most relevant…
Reconstructing parametric gravitational-wave population fits from non-parametric results without refitting the data
Cecilia Maria Fabbri, Davide Gerosa, Alessandro Santini +3
Combining multiple events into population analyses is a cornerstone of gravitational-wave astronomy. A critical component of such studies is the assumed population model, which can…
