Coalescing Compact Binary Parameter Estimation with Gravitational Waves in the Presence of non-Gaussian Transient Noise

Yannick Lecoeuche, Jess McIver, Alan M. Knee +7

Data from gravitational-wave (GW) detectors often contains a high rate of non-Gaussian transient noise, known as glitches. The parameters estimated from GW signals coinciding with…

Posterior Predictive Checks for Gravitational-wave Populations: Limitations and Improvements

Simona J. Miller, Sophia Winney, Katerina Chatziioannou +1

When selecting a model to characterize an astrophysical population, it is crucial to assess whether that model fits the data and, if not, how it can be improved. To this end, poste…

Inferring the spins of merging black holes in the presence of data-quality issues

Rhiannon Udall, Sophie Bini, Katerina Chatziioannou +5

Gravitational waves from black hole binary mergers carry information about the component spins, but inference is sensitive to analysis assumptions, which may be broken by terrestri…

Measuring spin precession from massive black hole binaries with gravitational waves: insights from time-domain signal morphology

Simona J. Miller, Maximiliano Isi, Katerina Chatziioannou +2

Robustly measuring binary black hole spins via gravitational waves is key to understanding these systems' astrophysical origins, but remains challenging -- especially for high-mass…

The anti-aligned spin of GW191109: glitch mitigation and its implications

Rhiannon Udall, Sophie Hourihane, Simona Miller +4

With a high total mass and an inferred effective spin anti-aligned with the orbital axis at the 99.9% level, GW191109 is one of the most promising candidates for a dynamical format…

GW190521: tracing imprints of spin-precession on the most massive black hole binary

Simona J. Miller, Maximiliano Isi, Katerina Chatziioannou +2

GW190521 is a remarkable gravitational-wave signal on multiple fronts: its source is the most massive black hole binary identified to date and could have spins misaligned with its…
