GW200115: a non-spinning black hole -- neutron star merger
Ilya Mandel, Rory J. E. Smith
GW200115 was the second merger of a black hole and a neutron star confidently detected through gravitational waves. Inference on the signal allows for a large black hole spin misal…
Temperature dependent appearance of exotic matter makes nascent neutron stars spin faster
Francisco Hernandez-Vivanco, Paul D. Lasky, Eric Thrane +5
Neutron stars offer the opportunity to study the behaviour of matter at densities and temperatures inaccessible to terrestrial experiments. Gravitational-wave observations of binar…
Measuring the primordial gravitational-wave background in the presence of astrophysical foregrounds
Sylvia Biscoveanu, Colm Talbot, Eric Thrane +1
Primordial gravitational waves are expected to create a stochastic background encoding information about the early Universe that may not be accessible by other means. However, the…
A scalable random forest regressor for combining neutron-star equation of state measurements: A case study with GW170817 and GW190425
Francisco Hernandez Vivanco, Rory Smith, Eric Thrane +1
Gravitational-wave observations of binary neutron star coalescences constrain the neutron-star equation of state by enabling measurement of the tidal deformation of each neutron st…
Inferring the population properties of binary black holes from unresolved gravitational waves
Rory Smith, Colm Talbot, Francisco Hernandez Vivanco +1
The vast majority of compact binary mergers in the Universe produce gravitational waves that are too weak to yield unambiguous detections; they are unresolved. We present a method…
Measuring eccentricity in binary black hole inspirals with gravitational waves
Marcus E. Lower, Eric Thrane, Paul D. Lasky +1
When binary black holes form in the field, it is expected that their orbits typically circularize before coalescence. In galactic nuclei and globular clusters, binary black holes c…
Rapidly evaluating the compact binary likelihood function via interpolation
Rory Smith, Chad Hanna, Ilya Mandel +1
Bayesian parameter estimation on gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences (CBCs) typically requires millions of template waveform computations at different values of th…
