Evidence for additional structure in the effective spin distribution hints at multiple formation pathways in GWTC-5.0
Sofia Alvarez-Lopez, Jack Heinzel, Salvatore Vitale
The distribution of the effective inspiral spin () of the binary black holes detected by LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA can shed light on their formation pathways. We analyze the…
No model-independent evidence for a peak in binary black hole spin (mis)alignments
Noah E. Wolfe, Salvatore Vitale, Michael Zevin
The degree of black-hole spin-orbit misalignment ("tilts") in the astrophysical population could be a powerful diagnostic to distinguish between binary formation in isolation, in d…
Reanalysis of LIGO black-hole coalescences with alternative prior assumptions
Davide Gerosa, Salvatore Vitale, Carl-Johan Haster +2
We present a critical reanalysis of the black-hole binary coalescences detected during LIGO's first observing run under different Bayesian prior assumptions. We summarize the main…
Early Advanced LIGO binary neutron-star sky localization and parameter estimation
C P L Berry, B Farr, W M Farr +15
2015 will see the first observations of Advanced LIGO and the start of the gravitational-wave (GW) advanced-detector era. One of the most promising sources for ground-based GW dete…
