Gravitational-wave inference in the catalog era: evolving priors and marginal events
Shanika Galaudage, Colm Talbot, Eric Thrane
As the number of gravitational-wave transient detections grows, the inclusion of marginally significant events in gravitational-wave catalogs will lead to increasing contamination…
Thanks for the memory: measuring gravitational-wave memory in the first LIGO/Virgo gravitational-wave transient catalog
Moritz Hübner, Colm Talbot, Paul D. Lasky +1
Gravitational-wave memory, a strong-field effect of general relativity, manifests itself as a permanent displacement in spacetime. We develop a Bayesian framework to detect gravita…
Constraining short gamma-ray burst jet properties with gravitational waves and gamma rays
Sylvia Biscoveanu, Eric Thrane, Salvatore Vitale
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) prompt emission is highly beamed, and understanding the jet geometry and beaming configuration can provide information on the poorly understood central engine…
Ultra-relativistic astrophysics using multi-messenger observations of double neutron stars with LISA and the SKA
Eric Thrane, Stefan Osłowski, Paul Lasky
Recent work highlights that tens of Galactic double neutron stars are likely to be detectable in the millihertz band of the space-based gravitational-wave observatory, LISA. Kyutok…
Searching for Eccentricity: Signatures of Dynamical Formation in the First Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalogue of LIGO and Virgo
Isobel M. Romero-Shaw, Paul D. Lasky, Eric Thrane
Binary black holes are thought to form primarily via two channels: isolated evolution and dynamical formation. The component masses, spins, and eccentricity of a binary black hole…
Is there a spectral turnover in the spin noise of millisecond pulsars?
Boris Goncharov, Xing-Jiang Zhu, Eric Thrane
Pulsar timing arrays provide a unique means to detect nanohertz gravitational waves through long-term measurements of pulse arrival times from an ensemble of millisecond pulsars. A…
Cosmology and the Early Universe
B. S. Sathyaprakash, Enis Belgacem, Daniele Bertacca +15
This Astro-2020 White Paper deals with what we might learn from future gravitational wave observations about the early universe phase transitions and their energy scales, primordia…
All-sky search for continuous gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars using Advanced LIGO O2 data
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1130
We present results of an all-sky search for continuous gravitational waves (CWs), which can be produced by fast-spinning neutron stars with an asymmetry around their rotation axis,…
The mass distribution of Galactic double neutron stars
Nicholas Farrow, Xing-Jiang Zhu, Eric Thrane
The conventional wisdom, dating back to 2012, is that the mass distribution of Galactic double neutron stars is well-fit by a Gaussian distribution with a mean of an…
