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…
Robustness of Deep Learning Models to Precession in Gravitational-Wave Searches for Intermediate-Mass Black Hole Binaries
Quirijn Meijer, Marc van der Sluys, Sarah Caudill
Gravitational-wave searches for signals of intermediate-mass black hole binaries are hindered by detector glitches, as the increased masses from stellar-mass systems hinder current…
Improving early detection of gravitational waves from binary neutron stars using CNNs and FPGAs
Ana Martins, Melissa Lopez, Quirijn Meijer +4
The detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from binary neutron stars (BNSs) with possible telescope follow-ups opens a window to ground-breaking discoveries in the field of multi-m…
Fast Waveform Generation for Gravitational Waves using Evolutionary Algorithms
Quirijn Meijer, Sarah Caudill
Gravitational-wave analyses depend heavily on waveforms that model the evolution of compact binary coalescences as seen by observing detectors. In many cases these waveforms are gi…
