Ameliorating transient noise bursts in gravitational-wave searches for intermediate-mass black holes
Melissa Lopez, Giada Caneva, Ana Martins +5
The direct observation of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBH) populations would not only strengthen the possible evolutionary link between stellar and supermassive black holes, bu…

Low evidence for ringdown overtone in GW150914 when marginalizing over time and sky location uncertainty
Alex Correia, Yi-Fan Wang, Julian Westerweck +1
Tests of the no-hair theorem using astrophysical black holes involve the detection of at least two quasi-normal modes (QNMs) in the gravitational wave emitted by a perturbed black…

Sky marginalization in black hole spectroscopy and tests of the area theorem
Alex Correia, Collin D. Capano
Direct observation of gravitational waves from binary black hole (BBH) mergers has made it possible to test the laws of black hole thermodynamics using real astrophysical sources.…
