LIGO--Virgo correlations between mass ratio and effective inspiral spin: testing the active galactic nuclei channel
B. McKernan, K. E. S. Ford, T. Callister +5
Observations by LIGO--Virgo of binary black hole mergers suggest a possible anti-correlation between black hole mass ratio () and the effective inspiral spin paramet…
Bayesian inference for compact binary coalescences with BILBY: Validation and application to the first LIGO--Virgo gravitational-wave transient catalogue
I. M. Romero-Shaw, C. Talbot, S. Biscoveanu +56
Gravitational waves provide a unique tool for observational astronomy. While the first LIGO--Virgo catalogue of gravitational-wave transients (GWTC-1) contains eleven signals from…
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…
Studies of waveform requirements for intermediate mass-ratio coalescence searches with advanced detectors
R. J. E. Smith, I. Mandel, A. Vecchio
The coalescence of a stellar-mass compact object into an intermediate-mass black hole (intermediate mass-ratio coalescence; IMRAC) is an important astrophysical source for ground-b…
Towards Rapid Parameter Estimation on Gravitational Waves from Compact Binaries using Interpolated Waveforms
R. J. E. Smith, K. Cannon, C. Hanna +2
Accurate parameter estimation of gravitational waves from coalescing compact binary sources is a key requirement for gravitational-wave astronomy. Evaluating the posterior probabil…
Implications For The Origin Of GRB 051103 From LIGO Observations
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott +568
We present the results of a LIGO search for gravitational waves (GWs) associated with GRB 051103, a short-duration hard-spectrum gamma-ray burst (GRB) whose electromagnetically det…
Computer-games for gravitational wave science outreach: Black Hole Pong and Space Time Quest
L. Carbone, C. Bond, D. Brown +11
We have established a program aimed to the development of small computer applications and web applets to be used for educational purposes and to teach gravitational waves physics a…
GRB 080319B: A Naked-Eye Stellar Blast from the Distant Universe
J. L. Racusin, S. V. Karpov, M. Sokolowski +81
Long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) release copious amounts of energy across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, and so provide a window into the process of black hole formation…
Demonstration of an all-optical quantum controlled-NOT gate
J L O'Brien, G J Pryde, A G White +2
The promise of tremendous computational power, coupled with the development of robust error-correcting schemes, has fuelled extensive efforts to build a quantum computer. The requi…
