Joint inference for gravitational-wave signal and noise glitch: Method and application

Shun Yin Cheung, Rhiannon Udall, Derek Davis +2

Non-Gaussian noise transients ("glitches") in gravitational-wave observatories degrade our ability to accurately perform astrophysical inference. We present the analysis pipeline b…

Sub-threshold post-merger gravitational waves can constrain the hot nuclear equation of state

Fiona H. Panther, Paul D. Lasky

We show how to coherently combine information from a population of sub-threshold, gravitational-wave binary neutron star post-merger remnants. Although no individual event in our s…

GW231123: extreme spins or microglitches?

Anarya Ray, Sharan Banagiri, Eric Thrane +1

The recently reported binary black hole merger, GW231123, has unusual properties that make it hard to explain astrophysically. Parameter estimation studies are consistent with maxi…

A search for extra polarisations using a Gaussian process in Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalogue 3

Shun Yin Cheung, Lachlan Passenger, Paul D. Lasky +1

General relativity predicts that gravitational waves are described by two polarisation states: the plus state and cross state. However, alternate theories of gravity a…

A Gaussian process framework for testing general relativity with gravitational waves

Lachlan Passenger, Shun Yin Cheung, Nir Guttman +3

Gravitational-wave astronomy provides a promising avenue for the discovery of new physics beyond general relativity as it probes extreme curvature and ultra-relativistic dynamics.…

Significant challenges for astrophysical inference with next-generation gravitational-wave observatories

A. Makai Baker, Paul D. Lasky, Eric Thrane +1

The next generation of gravitational-wave observatories will achieve unprecedented strain sensitivities with an expanded observing band. They will detect binary ne…
