GstLAL O4 Online Results Paper

Shomik Adhicary, Pratyusava Baral, Amanda Baylor +39

Gravitational-wave observations of merging binary neutron stars and black holes are now routinely made by detectors in the Advanced LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA network. Neutron star binary sy…

Gauge Theoretic Signal Processing II: Zero-Latency Whitening for Early Warning Pipelines

James Kennington, Joshua Black, Zach Yarbrough +9

Low-latency gravitational-wave search pipelines provide early-warning alerts for multimessenger astrophysical transients. Current pipelines whiten the data stream using acausal, li…

Background Filter: A method for removing signal contamination during significance estimation of a GstLAL anaysis

Prathamesh Joshi, Leo Tsukada, Chad Hanna

To evaluate the probability of a gravitational-wave candidate originating from noise, GstLAL collects noise statistics from the data it analyzes. Gravitational-wave signals of astr…

Performance of the low-latency GstLAL inspiral search towards LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA's fourth observing run

Becca Ewing, Rachael Huxford, Divya Singh +40

GstLAL is a stream-based matched-filtering search pipeline aiming at the prompt discovery of gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences such as the mergers of black holes…

A binary tree approach to template placement for searches for gravitational waves from compact binary mergers

Chad Hanna, James Kennington, Shio Sakon +30

We demonstrate a new geometric method for fast template placement for searches for gravitational waves from the inspiral, merger and ringdown of compact binaries. The method is bas…

Incorporation of Statistical Data Quality Information into the GstLAL Search Analysis

Patrick Godwin, Reed Essick, Chad Hanna +20

We present updates to GstLAL, a matched filter gravitational-wave search pipeline, in Advanced LIGO and Virgo's third observing run. We discuss the incorporation of statistical dat…

Sub-threshold binary neutron star search in Advanced LIGO's first observing run

Ryan Magee, Heather Fong, Sarah Caudill +12

We present a search for gravitational waves from double neutron star binaries inspirals in Advanced LIGO's first observing run. The search considers a narrow range of binary chirp…

The GstLAL Search Analysis Methods for Compact Binary Mergers in Advanced LIGO's Second and Advanced Virgo's First Observing Runs

Surabhi Sachdev, Sarah Caudill, Heather Fong +26

After their successful first observing run (September 12, 2015 - January 12, 2016), the Advanced LIGO detectors were upgraded to increase their sensitivity for the second observing…

Fast evaluation of multi-detector consistency for real-time gravitational wave searches

Chad Hanna, Sarah Caudill, Cody Messick +17

Gravitational waves searches for compact binary mergers with LIGO and Virgo are presently a two stage process. First, a gravitational wave signal is identified. Then, an exhaustive…

A Carillon of Black Holes

Daniel George, Duncan Meacher, Mark Ballora +1

Scientists collaborating internationally have developed a new way to learn about our universe through gravitational waves, which are ripples in space-time caused by the motion and…
