Binary neutron stars in the next-generation era: Multi-messenger detection prospects and constraints on the equation of state, mass distribution, and cosmology
Hauke Koehn, Thibeau Wouters, Gilad Sadeh +5
The paper forecasts how many binary neutron‑star mergers will be observed jointly in gravitational waves and electromagnetic light by next‑generation detectors like the Einstein Te…
nmma: An extended Bayesian framework for Nuclear Multimessenger Astronomy in the Era of Next-Generation Detectors
Henrik Rose, Hauke Koehn, Thibeau Wouters +4
Context. The joint analysis of different (astro-)physical messengers, in particular gravitational-wave data and electromagnetic follow-up observations, allows us to establish, expl…
Detecting Tidal Resonances in Binary Neutron Stars
Fabian Gittins, Harsh Narola, Thibeau Wouters +3
As a binary neutron star inspirals due to the emission of gravitational waves, the rising tidal frequency resonantly excites vibrational modes. These oscillations are seismological…
Revealing tensions in neutron star observations with pressure anisotropy
Peter T. H. Pang, Stephanie M. Brown, Thibeau Wouters +1
Pressure isotropy, i.e., equality between radial and tangential pressure, is often assumed when studying neutron stars. However, mechanisms such as pion/kaon condensation, magnetic…
Detecting electromagnetic counterparts to LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA gravitational wave events with DECam: Neutron Star Mergers
Keerthi Kunnumkai, Antonella Palmese, Amanda M Farah +7
With GW170817 being the only multimessenger gravitational wave (GW) event with an associated kilonova detected so far, there exists a pressing need for realistic estimation of the…
Incorporating neutron star physics into gravitational wave inference with physics-informed priors using normalizing flows
Thibeau Wouters, Peter T. H. Pang, Tim Dietrich +1
Bayesian inference, widely used in gravitational-wave parameter estimation, depends on the choice of priors, i.e., on our previously existing knowledge. However, to investigate neu…
