On the use of galaxy catalogs in gravitational-wave parameter estimation
Geoffrey Mo, Carl-Johan Haster, Erik Katsavounidis
A major challenge in gravitational-wave multi-messenger astrophysics is the imprecise localization of gravitational-wave compact binary mergers. We investigate the use of a method…
Limits on the Ejecta Mass During the Search for Kilonovae Associated with Neutron Star-Black Hole Mergers: A case study of S230518h, GW230529, S230627c and the Low-Significance Candidate S240422ed
M. Pillas, S. Antier, K. Ackley +78
Neutron star-black hole (NSBH) mergers, detectable via their gravitational-wave (GW) emission, are expected to produce kilonovae (KNe). Four NSBH candidates have been identified an…
Low-latency gravitational wave alert products and their performance at the time of the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run
Sushant Sharma Chaudhary, Andrew Toivonen, Gaurav Waratkar +50
Multi-messenger searches for BNS and NSBH mergers are currently one of the most exciting areas of astronomy. The search for joint electromagnetic and neutrino counterparts to GWs h…
Identifying the hosts of binary black hole and neutron star-black hole mergers with next-generation gravitational-wave detectors
Geoffrey Mo, Hsin-Yu Chen
The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration has detected over one hundred compact binary mergers in gravitational waves, but the formation history of these binaries remains an open question…
