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…

SolTrack: a free, fast and accurate routine to compute the position of the Sun

Marc van der Sluys, Paul van Kan

We present a simple, free, fast and accurate C/C++ and Python routine called SolTrack, which can compute the position of the Sun at any instant and any location on Earth. The code…

Reconstructing the sky location of gravitational-wave detected compact binary systems: methodology for testing and comparison

Trevor Sidery, Ben Aylott, Nelson Christensen +20

The problem of reconstructing the sky position of compact binary coalescences detected via gravitational waves is a central one for future observations with the ground-based networ…
