The BayesWave analysis pipeline in the era of gravitational wave observations
Neil J. Cornish, Tyson B. Littenberg, Bence Bécsy +4
We describe updates and improvements to the BayesWave gravitational wave transient analysis pipeline, and provide examples of how the algorithm is used to analyze data from ground-…
Bayesian search for gravitational wave bursts in pulsar timing array data
Bence Bécsy, Neil J. Cornish
The nanohertz frequency band explored by pulsar timing arrays provides a unique discovery space for gravitational wave signals. In addition to signals from anticipated sources, suc…
GW190521: A Binary Black Hole Merger with a Total Mass of
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1253
On May 21, 2019 at 03:02:29 UTC Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo observed a short duration gravitational-wave signal, GW190521, with a three-detector network signal-to-noise ratio…
Interpreting gravitational-wave burst detections: constraining source properties without astrophysical models
Bence Bécsy, Peter Raffai, Kiranjyot Gill +3
We show that for detections of gravitational-wave transients, constraints can be given on physical parameters of the source without using any specific astrophysical models. Relying…
Joint search for isolated sources and an unresolved confusion background in pulsar timing array data
Bence Bécsy, Neil J. Cornish
Supermassive black hole binaries are the most promising source of gravitational-waves in the frequency band accessible to pulsar timing arrays. Most of these binaries will be too d…
Model comparison from LIGO-Virgo data on GW170817's binary components and consequences for the merger remnant
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1191
GW170817 is the very first observation of gravitational waves originating from the coalescence of two compact objects in the mass range of neutron stars, accompanied by electromagn…
