Distribution of Effective Spins and Masses of Binary Black Holes from the LIGO and Virgo O1-O3a Observing Runs
Javier Roulet, Horng Sheng Chia, Seth Olsen +4
The distribution of effective spin , a parameter that encodes the degree of spin-orbit alignment in a binary system, has been widely regarded as a robust discriminator…
Binary Black Hole Mergers from LIGO/Virgo O1 and O2: Population Inference Combining Confident and Marginal Events
Javier Roulet, Tejaswi Venumadhav, Barak Zackay +2
We perform a statistical inference of the astrophysical population of binary black hole (BBH) mergers observed during the first two observing runs of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Vir…
Search for Lensed Gravitational Waves Including Morse Phase Information: An Intriguing Candidate in O2
Liang Dai, Barak Zackay, Tejaswi Venumadhav +2
We search for strongly lensed and multiply imaged gravitational wave signals in the second observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo (O2). We exploit a new source of inform…
Source properties of the lowest signal-to-noise-ratio binary black hole detections
Yiwen Huang, Carl-Johan Haster, Salvatore Vitale +6
We perform a detailed parameter estimation study of binary black hole merger events reported in Zackay et al. and Venumadhav et al.. These are some of the faintest signals reported…
Asymmetric Surface Brightness Structure of Caustic Crossing Arc in SDSS J1226+2152: A Case for Dark Matter Substructure
Liang Dai, Alexander A. Kaurov, Keren Sharon +6
We study the highly magnified arc SGAS J122651.3+215220 caused by a star-forming galaxy at crossing the lensing caustic cast by the galaxy cluster SDSS J1226+2152 ($z_l=…
New binary black hole mergers in the second observing run of Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo
Tejaswi Venumadhav, Barak Zackay, Javier Roulet +2
We report the detection of new binary black hole merger events in the publicly available data from the second observing run of advanced LIGO and advanced Virgo (O2). The mergers we…
