Leveraging cross-detector parameter consistency measures to enhance sensitivities of gravitational wave searches
Sayantan Ghosh, Leigh Smith, Jiyoon Sun +3
All-sky searches for generic short-duration astrophysical GW transients are often challenging because of noise transients. Developing novel signal-noise discriminators is crucial f…

Search for dynamical black hole captures with Gaussian mixture modelling
Leigh Smith, Shubhanshu Tiwari, Michael Ebersold +3
Gravitational waves (GWs) are expected to originate from black holes interacting dynamically in dense astrophysical environments. In such environments, given that the velocity and…

Enhancing search pipelines for short gravitational wave transients with Gaussian mixture modelling
Leigh Smith, Sayantan Ghosh, Jiyoon Sun +3
We present an enhanced method for the application of Gaussian Mixture Modelling (GMM) to the coherent WaveBurst (cWB) algorithm in the search for short-duration gravitational wave…
