A machine learning-enabled search for binary black hole mergers in LIGO-Virgo-KAGRAs third observing run
Ethan Marx, William Benoit, Trevor Blodgett +8
We conduct a search for stellar-mass binary black hole mergers in gravitational-wave data collected by the LIGO detectors during the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) third observing run (O3)…
