LIGO A: Detector Design and Science Prospects Beyond A+
L. Sun, K. Kuns, B. J. J. Slagmolen +1153
We present the LIGO A detector concept, an upgrade for the LIGO observatories based on room-temperature interferometers beyond the fifth observing run (O5). Building on th…
Parameter estimation for the GWTC-4.0 catalog with phenomenological waveform models that include orbital eccentricity and an updated description of spin precession
Yumeng Xu, Jorge Valencia, Héctor Estellés Estrella +11
The GWTC-4.0 catalog of transient gravitational wave signals describes observations made in the first part of the fourth observing run of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) gravitational w…
PhenomXPNR: An improved gravitational wave model linking precessing inspirals and NR-calibrated merger-ringdown
Eleanor Hamilton, Marta Colleoni, Jonathan E. Thompson +10
We present the frequency-domain quasi-circular precessing binary-black-hole model PhenomXPNR. This model combines the most precise available post-Newtonian description of the evolu…
Enhancing Gravitational Wave Parameter Estimation with Non-Linear Memory: Breaking the Distance-Inclination Degeneracy
Yumeng Xu, Maria Rosselló-Sastre, Shubhanshu Tiwari +5
In this study, we investigate the role of the non-linear memory effect in gravitational wave (GW) parameter estimation, particularly we explore its capability to break the degenera…
Leveraging gravitational-wave memory to distinguish neutron star--black hole binaries from black hole binaries
Shubhanshu Tiwari, Michael Ebersold, Eleanor Z. Hamilton
In the observation of gravitational waves (GWs) from a compact binary coalescence system where the mass of one of the companions is the nature of the object is a…
The final twist: A model of gravitational waves from precessing black-hole binaries through merger and ringdown
Eleanor Hamilton, Lionel London, Jonathan E. Thompson +6
We present PhenomPNR, a frequency-domain phenomenological model of the gravitational-wave (GW) signal from binary-black-hole mergers that is tuned to numerical relativity (NR) simu…
