Improving the background estimation technique in the GstLAL inspiral pipeline with the time-reversed template bank
Chiwai Chan, Kipp Cannon, Sarah Caudill +20
Background estimation is important for determining the statistical significance of a gravitational-wave event. Currently, the background model is constructed numerically from the s…
A self-consistent method to estimate the rate of compact binary coalescences with a Poisson mixture model
Shasvath J. Kapadia, Sarah Caudill, Jolien D. E. Creighton +13
The recently published GWTC-1 - a journal article summarizing the search for gravitational waves (GWs) from coalescing compact binaries in data produced by the LIGO-Virgo network o…
Sub-threshold binary neutron star search in Advanced LIGO's first observing run
Ryan Magee, Heather Fong, Sarah Caudill +12
We present a search for gravitational waves from double neutron star binaries inspirals in Advanced LIGO's first observing run. The search considers a narrow range of binary chirp…
The GstLAL Search Analysis Methods for Compact Binary Mergers in Advanced LIGO's Second and Advanced Virgo's First Observing Runs
Surabhi Sachdev, Sarah Caudill, Heather Fong +26
After their successful first observing run (September 12, 2015 - January 12, 2016), the Advanced LIGO detectors were upgraded to increase their sensitivity for the second observing…
Fast evaluation of multi-detector consistency for real-time gravitational wave searches
Chad Hanna, Sarah Caudill, Cody Messick +17
Gravitational waves searches for compact binary mergers with LIGO and Virgo are presently a two stage process. First, a gravitational wave signal is identified. Then, an exhaustive…
Disentangling the potential dark matter origin of LIGO's black holes
Ryan Magee, Chad Hanna
The nature of dark matter remains one of the biggest open questions in physics. Intriguingly, it has been suggested that dark matter may be explained by another recently observed p…
