Intrinsic handedness in O1-O4a black-hole mergers: probing orbital precession, remnant retention in dense environments and cosmological mirror asymmetry

Juan Calderón Bustillo, Adrián del Rio, Nicolás Sanchis-Gual +1

Precessing binary black-holes generically produce an imbalance of right- and left- handed gravitational waves, reflecting the breaking of mirror symmetry by the merger dynamics. We…

Kicking time back in black-hole mergers: Ancestral masses, spins, birth recoils and hierarchical-formation viability of GW190521

Carlos Araújo Álvarez, Henry W. Y. Wong, Anna Liu +1

Pair-instability supernova (PISN) prevents black-hole formation from stellar collapse within the approximate mass range . However, such black holes may form h…

Convolutional Neural Networks for the classification of glitches in gravitational-wave data streams

Tiago S. Fernandes, Samuel J. Vieira, Antonio Onofre +3

We investigate the use of Convolutional Neural Networks (including the modern ConvNeXt network family) to classify transient noise signals (i.e.~glitches) and gravitational waves i…

Mapping the Universe Expansion: Enabling percent-level measurements of the Hubble Constant with a single binary neutron-star merger detection

Juan Calderón Bustillo, Samson H. W. Leong, Tim Dietrich +1

The joint observation of the gravitational-wave and electromagnetic signal from the binary neutron-star merger GW170817 allowed for a new independent measurement of the Hubble cons…

Measuring Spin of the Remnant Black Hole from Maximum Amplitude

Deborah Ferguson, Sudarshan Ghonge, James A. Clark +3

Gravitational waves emitted during the merger of two black holes carry information about the remnant black hole, namely its mass and spin. This information is typically found from…

Search for sub-solar mass ultracompact binaries in Advanced LIGO's first observing run

B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott +1135

We present the first Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo search for ultracompact binary systems with component masses between 0.2 - 1.0 using data taken between Se…

Tracking black hole kicks from gravitational wave observations

Juan Calderón Bustillo, James A. Clark, Pablo Laguna +1

Coalescing binary black holes emit anisotropic gravitational radiation. This causes a net emission of linear momentum that produces a gradual acceleration of the source. As a resul…
