Ameliorating transient noise bursts in gravitational-wave searches for intermediate-mass black holes
Melissa Lopez, Giada Caneva, Ana Martins +5
The direct observation of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBH) populations would not only strengthen the possible evolutionary link between stellar and supermassive black holes, bu…
Template bank for sub solar mass compact binary mergers in the fourth observing run of Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo, and KAGRA
Chad Hanna, James Kennington, Wanting Niu +38
Matched-filtering searches for gravitational-wave signals from compact binary mergers employ template banks which are a collection of modeled waveforms described by unique intrinsi…
Searching for asymmetric and heavily precessing Binary Black Holes in the gravitational wave data from the LIGO and Virgo third Observing Run
Stefano Schmidt, Sarah Caudill, Jolien D. E. Creighton +37
Leveraging the features of the GstLAL pipeline, we present the results of a matched filtering search for asymmetric binary black hole systems with heavily misaligned spins in LIGO…
Searching for gravitational-wave signals from precessing black hole binaries with the GstLAL pipeline
Stefano Schmidt, Sarah Caudill, Jolien D. E. Creighton +36
Precession in Binary Black Holes (BBH) is caused by the failure of the Black Hole spins to be aligned and its study can open up new perspectives in gravitational waves (GW) astrono…
A novel signal-consistency test for gravitational-wave searches of generic black hole binaries
Stefano Schmidt, Sarah Caudill
We propose a novel signal-consistency test applicable to a broad search for gravitational waves emitted by generic binary black hole (BBH) systems. The test generalizes the time do…
