Toward a complete understanding of the properties of GW190521

Aasim Jan, Sophia Nicolella, Aaron Zimmerman +4

Interpreting GW190521 remains challenging due to its exceptionally high total mass and correspondingly small number of observable gravitational-wave cycles, which gives rise to deg…

Adaptive proposals for nonparametric equation-of-state inference with RIFT: iterative Gaussian-process refinement in a compressed sequence representation

R. O'Shaughnessy, Z. Zhu

Nonparametric equation-of-state (EOS) inference evaluates the likelihood on a finite ensemble drawn from a prescribed functional prior. Reweighting that ensemble suffices for the b…

Improved Population and EOS Joint Inference for Binary Neutron Star Systems

Marc Ebiri, Richard O'Shaughnessy

The extreme environment within neutron stars presents the opportunity to probe the nuclear equation of state at high densities while studying the properties of these stellar remnan…

Scaling RIFT 1: Extending RIFT to third-generation gravitational-wave analyses

R. O'Shaughnessy, A. Jan, J. Lange +1

Interpretation of compact binary signals observed by third-generation gravitational-wave detectors is complicated by their high signal-to-noise ratios, often reaching hundreds to t…

Analysis of GWTC-3 with multiple quasicircular models

N. Manning, R. O'Shaughnessy

The interpretation of gravitational wave sources depends on the specific choice of model used to interpret signals. Previous analyses of GWTC-3 event candidates using SEOBNRv4PHM,…

Physics-based phenomenological modeling of binary black hole hierarchical formation 2: Autodifferentiable functional inference of hierarchical compact-binary populations

R. O'Shaughnessy, M. Zeeshan, M. Qazalbash

The gravitational-wave (GW) census contains mass and spin structure consistent with contributions from black holes assembled through repeated mergers in dense environments. Connect…
