In Pursuit of Love: First Templated Search for Compact Objects with Large Tidal Deformabilities in the LIGO-Virgo Data
Horng Sheng Chia, Thomas D. P. Edwards, Digvijay Wadekar +6
We report results on the first matched-filtering search for binaries with compact objects having large tidal deformabilities in the LIGO-Virgo gravitational wave (GW) data. The tid…
Removing degeneracy and multimodality in gravitational wave source parameters
Javier Roulet, Seth Olsen, Jonathan Mushkin +4
Quasicircular binary black hole mergers are described by 15 parameters, of which gravitational wave observations can typically constrain only independent combinations to…
New binary black hole mergers in the LIGO--Virgo O3a data
Seth Olsen, Tejaswi Venumadhav, Jonathan Mushkin +3
We report the detection of ten new binary black hole (BBH) mergers in the publicly released data from the the first half of the third observing run (O3a) of advanced LIGO and advan…
Mapping the Likelihood of GW190521 with Diverse Mass and Spin Priors
Seth Olsen, Javier Roulet, Horng Sheng Chia +4
We map the likelihood of GW190521, the heaviest detected binary black hole (BBH) merger, by sampling under different mass and spin priors designed to be uninformative. We find that…
Distribution of Effective Spins and Masses of Binary Black Holes from the LIGO and Virgo O1-O3a Observing Runs
Javier Roulet, Horng Sheng Chia, Seth Olsen +4
The distribution of effective spin , a parameter that encodes the degree of spin-orbit alignment in a binary system, has been widely regarded as a robust discriminator…
Signs of Higher Multipoles and Orbital Precession in GW151226
Horng Sheng Chia, Seth Olsen, Javier Roulet +4
We present a reanalysis of GW151226, the second binary black hole merger discovered by the LIGO--Virgo Collaboration. Previous analysis showed that the best-fit waveform for this e…
