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…

Why Halley did not discover proper motion and why Cassini did

Frank Verbunt, Marc van der Sluys

In 1717 Halley compared contemporaneous measurements of the latitudes of four stars with earlier measurements by ancient Greek astronomers and by Brahe, and from the differences co…

Parameter estimation for signals from compact binary inspirals injected into LIGO data

Marc van der Sluys, Ilya Mandel, Vivien Raymond +3

During the fifth science run of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO), signals modelling the gravitational waves emitted by coalescing non-spinning compact…

Common Envelope Mergers: A Possible Channel for Forming Single sdB Stars

Michael Politano, Ronald E. Taam, Marc van der Sluys +1

We quantify an evolutionary channel for single sdB stars based on mergers of binaries containing a red giant star and a lower mass main sequence or brown dwarf companion in our Gal…

Search for Gravitational Wave Bursts from Soft Gamma Repeaters

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, S. Barthelmy, N. Gehrels +2

We present the results of a LIGO search for short-duration gravitational waves (GWs) associated with Soft Gamma Repeater (SGR) bursts. This is the first search sensitive to neutron…

Parameter estimation of spinning binary inspirals using Markov-chain Monte Carlo

Marc van der Sluys, Vivien Raymond, Ilya Mandel +5

We present a Markov-chain Monte-Carlo (MCMC) technique to study the source parameters of gravitational-wave signals from the inspirals of stellar-mass compact binaries detected wit…
