Search methods for continuous gravitational-wave signals from unknown sources in the advanced-detector era

Rodrigo Tenorio, David Keitel, Alicia M. Sintes

Continuous gravitational waves are long-lasting forms of gravitational radiation produced by persistent quadrupolar variations of matter. Standard expected sources for ground-based…

General-relativistic precession in a black-hole binary

Mark Hannam, Charlie Hoy, Jonathan E. Thompson +24

The general-relativistic phenomenon of spin-induced orbital precession has not yet been observed in strong-field gravity. Gravitational-wave observations of binary black holes (BBH…

Empirically estimating the distribution of the loudest candidate from a gravitational-wave search

Rodrigo Tenorio, Luana M. Modafferi, David Keitel +1

Searches for gravitational-wave signals are often based on maximizing a detection statistic over a bank of waveform templates, covering a given parameter space with a variable leve…

A detailed analysis of GW190521 with phenomenological waveform models

Héctor Estellés, Sascha Husa, Marta Colleoni +8

In this paper we present an extensive analysis of the GW190521 gravitational wave event with the current (fourth) generation of phenomenological waveform models for binary black ho…

New twists in compact binary waveform modelling: a fast time domain model for precession

Héctor Estellés, Marta Colleoni, Cecilio García-Quirós +5

We present IMRPhenomTPHM, a phenomenological model for the gravitational wave signals emitted by the coalescence of quasi-circular precessing binary black holes systems. The model…

Application of a hierarchical MCMC follow-up to Advanced LIGO continuous gravitational-wave candidates

Rodrigo Tenorio, David Keitel, Alicia M. Sintes

We present the first application of a hierarchical Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) follow-up on continuous gravitational-wave candidates from real-data searches. The follow-up uses…
