Black Hole Coagulation: Modeling Hierarchical Mergers in Black Hole Populations
Zoheyr Doctor, Daniel Wysocki, Richard O'Shaughnessy +2
Data from the LIGO and Virgo detectors has confirmed that stellar-mass black holes can merge within a Hubble time, leaving behind massive remnant black holes. In some astrophysical…
Impact of subdominant modes on the interpretation of gravitational-wave signals from heavy binary black hole systems
Feroz H. Shaik, Jacob Lange, Scott E. Field +5
Over the past year, a handful of new gravitational wave models have been developed to include multiple harmonic modes thereby enabling for the first time fully Bayesian inference s…
Monte-Carlo simulations of black hole mergers in AGN disks: Low mergers and predictions for LIGO
B. McKernan, K. E. S. Ford, R. O'Shaughnessy +1
Accretion disks around supermassive black holes are promising sites for stellar mass black hole mergers detectable with LIGO. Here we present the results of Monte-Carlo simulations…
Accelerating parameter inference with graphics processing units
D. Wysocki, R. O'Shaughnessy, Y-L. L. Fang +1
Gravitational wave Bayesian parameter inference involves repeated comparisons of GW data to generic candidate predictions. Even with algorithmically efficient methods like RIFT or…
Response to Cusin et al's comment on arXiv:1810.13435
Alexander C. Jenkins, Mairi Sakellariadou, Tania Regimbau +3
We offer a brief response to the criticisms put forward by Cusin et al in arXiv:1811.03582 about our work arXiv:1810.13435 and arXiv:1806.01718, emphasising that none of these crit…
