Can Big Black Holes Merge with the Smallest Black Holes?
Storm Colloms, Zoheyr Doctor, Christopher P L Berry
Gravitational-wave measurements of the binary black hole population provide insights into the evolution of merging binaries. We explore potential correlation between mass and mass…
The Science of the Einstein Telescope
Adrian Abac, Raul Abramo, Simone Albanesi +485
Einstein Telescope (ET) is the European project for a gravitational-wave (GW) observatory of third-generation. In this paper we present a comprehensive discussion of its science ob…
Exploring the astrophysical origins of binary black holes using normalising flows
Storm Colloms, Christopher P L Berry, John Veitch +1
The growing number of gravitational-wave detections from binary black holes enables increasingly precise measurements of their population properties. The observed population is mos…
Exploring the evolution of gravitational-wave emitters with efficient emulation: Constraining the origins of binary black holes using normalising flows
Storm Colloms, Christopher P L Berry, John Veitch +1
Binary population synthesis simulations allow detailed modelling of gravitational-wave sources from a variety of formation channels. These population models can be compared to the…
Communicating the gravitational-wave discoveries of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration
Hannah Middleton, Christopher P L Berry, Nicolas Arnaud +34
The LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration has made breakthrough discoveries in gravitational-wave astronomy, a new field that provides a different means of observing our Universe. G…
