Potential Gravitational-wave and Gamma-ray Multi-messenger Candidate from Oct. 30, 2015
Alexander H. Nitz, Alex B. Nielsen, Collin D. Capano
We present a search for binary neutron star mergers that produced gravitational-waves during the first observing run of Advanced LIGO and gamma-ray emission seen by either \textit{…
Investigating the noise residuals around the gravitational wave event GW150914
Alex B. Nielsen, Alexander H. Nitz, Collin D. Capano +1
We use the Pearson cross-correlation statistic proposed by Liu and Jackson, and employed by Creswell et al., to look for statistically significant correlations between the LIGO Han…
Coincident detection significance in multimessenger astronomy
Gregory Ashton, Eric Burns, Tito Dal Canton +6
We derive a Bayesian criterion for assessing whether signals observed in two separate data sets originate from a common source. The Bayes factor for a common vs. unrelated origin o…
On the distribution of stellar-sized black hole spins
Alex B. Nielsen
Black hole spin will have a large impact on searches for gravitational waves with advanced detectors. While only a few stellar mass black hole spins have been measured using X-ray…
