Accounting for detector calibration uncertainty in black-hole ringdown analysis
Rowina S. Nathan, Shingo Hido, Neil Lu +3
Detector calibration systematics can bias measurements of a remnant black hole's mass and spin, producing spurious evidence against general relativity if unaccounted for. The ringd…

Searching for gravitational waves from compact binary mergers powering long gamma-ray bursts during LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA's O3 run
Mallika R. Sinha, Teagan A. Clarke, Qifang Zhang +3
Neutron star binary mergers are often associated with short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), but the recent detection of kilonovae coincident with long GRBs suggest that some mergers may p…

Impact of Detector Calibration Accuracy on Black Hole Spectroscopy
Mallika R. Sinha, Ling Sun, Sizheng Ma
Systematic errors in detector calibration can bias signal analyses and potentially lead to incorrect interpretations suggesting violations of general relativity. In this study, we…
