A Model-Independent Framework for Gravitational-Wave Reconstruction of Binary Black Hole Hyperbolic Encounters in Ground-Based Interferometers
Peter Lott, Heleen Amedi, Jay Graves +3
Binary black hole hyperbolic encounters represent a dynamical interaction in which two black holes undergo a close fly-by, emitting gravitational-wave bremsstrahlung in the form of…
Dedicated-frequency analysis of gravitational-wave bursts from core-collapse supernovae with minimal assumptions
Yi Shuen C. Lee, Marek J SzczepaÅczyk, Tanmaya Mishra +2
Gravitational-wave (GW) emissions from core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) provide insights into the internal processes leading up to their explosions. Theory predicts that CCSN explo…
LIGO Detector Characterization in the first half of the fourth Observing run
S. Soni, B. K. Berger, D. Davis +232
Progress in gravitational-wave astronomy depends upon having sensitive detectors with good data quality. Since the end of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA third Observing run in March 2020, de…
Multi-detector characterization of gravitational-wave burst tensor polarizations with the BayesWave algorithm
Yi Shuen C. Lee, Siddhant Doshi, Margaret Millhouse +1
Einstein's theory of general relativity predicts that gravitational waves (GWs) are tensor-polarized, with two modes of polarization: plus () and cross (). The unmod…
Assessing and Mitigating the Impact of Glitches on Gravitational-Wave Parameter Estimation: a Model Agnostic Approach
Sudarshan Ghonge, Joshua Brandt, J. M. Sullivan +7
In this paper we investigate the impact of transient noise artifacts, or {\it glitches}, on gravitational-wave inference from ground-based interferometer data, and test how modelin…
