A search of the Orion spur for continuous gravitational waves using a "loosely coherent" algorithm on data from LIGO interferometers

J. Aasi, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +920

We report results of a wideband search for periodic gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars within the Orion spur towards both the inner and outer regions of our Galaxy. As…

Parameter estimation on gravitational waves from neutron-star binaries with spinning components

Ben Farr, Christopher P. L. Berry, Will M. Farr +14

Inspiraling binary neutron stars are expected to be one of the most significant sources of gravitational-wave signals for the new generation of advanced ground-based detectors. We…

Astrophysical constraints on massive black hole binary evolution from Pulsar Timing Arrays

Hannah Middleton, Walter Del Pozzo, Will M. Farr +2

We consider the information that can be derived about massive black-hole binary populations and their formation history solely from current and possible future pulsar timing array…

Efficient method for measuring the parameters encoded in a gravitational-wave signal

Carl-Johan Haster, Ilya Mandel, Will M. Farr

Once upon a time, predictions for the accuracy of inference on gravitational-wave signals relied on computationally inexpensive but often inaccurate techniques. Recently, the appro…

Dynamic temperature selection for parallel-tempering in Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations

Will Vousden, Will M. Farr, Ilya Mandel

Modern problems in astronomical Bayesian inference require efficient methods for sampling from complex, high-dimensional, often multi-modal probability distributions. Most popular…
