In this work, we investigate the features present in the joint primary mass and effective spin distribution of binary black holes without relying on specific modelling assumptions.…
Ultra-high-energy -ray imprints from PeV particles accelerated by supernova remnants
Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Y. X. Bai +320
The quest for the origin of cosmic ray (CRs) is a fundamental issue in astrophysics. Shocks of supernova remnants (SNRs) have been considered as the dominant contributors to Galact…
Joint Bayesian Source and Lens Reconstruction for Multi-messenger Binary Black Holes
Laura Uronen, Tian Li, Justin Janquart +5
If a gravitational wave event is lensed by a cluster or galaxy in our line-of-sight, it is expected that its host galaxy would also be lensed. Therefore, connecting lensed gravitat…
