Search for gravitational waves from eccentric binary black holes with an effective-one-body template
Yi-Fan Wang, Alexander H. Nitz
As gravitational wave astronomy has entered an era of routine detections, it becomes increasingly important to precisely measure the physical parameters of individual events and in…
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…
A Search for Low-Mass Neutron Stars in the Third Observing Run of Advanced LIGO and Virgo
Keisi Kacanja, Alexander H. Nitz
Most observed neutron stars have masses around 1.4 , consistent with current formation mechanisms. To date, no sub-solar mass neutron star has been observed. Observing a l…
Robust, Rapid, and Simple Gravitational-wave Parameter Estimation
Alexander Harvey Nitz
Rapid and robust parameter estimation of gravitational-wave sources is a key component of modern multi-messenger astronomy. We present a novel and straightforward method for rapid…
Hierarchical searches for subsolar-mass binaries and the third-generation gravitational wave detector era
Kanchan Soni, Alexander H. Nitz
The detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from coalescing compact binaries has become routine with ground-based detectors like LIGO and Virgo. However, beyond standard sources suc…
Efficient Stochastic Template Bank using Inner Product Inequalities
Keisi Kacanja, Alexander H. Nitz, Shichao Wu +5
Gravitational wave searches are crucial for studying compact sources like neutron stars and black holes. Many sensitive modeled searches use matched filtering to compare gravitatio…
