A follow-up on intermediate-mass black hole candidates in the second LIGO–Virgo observing run with the Bayes Coherence Ratio Open
The detection of an intermediate-mass black hole population (102–106 M⊙) will provide clues to their formation environments (e.g. discs of active galactic nuclei, globular clusters) and illuminate a potential pathway to produce supermassiv…

Gravitational-wave Geodesy: A New Tool for Validating Detection of the Stochastic Gravitational-wave Background Open
A valuable target for advanced gravitational-wave detectors is the stochastic gravitational-wave background. The stochastic background imparts a weak correlated signal into networks of gravitational-wave detectors, and so standard searches…

Enhancing confidence in the detection of gravitational waves from compact binaries using signal coherence Open
We show that gravitational-wave signals from compact binary mergers may be better distinguished from instrumental noise transients by using Bayesian models that look for signal coherence across a detector network. This can be achieved even…

Mitigation of the instrumental noise transient in gravitational-wave data surrounding GW170817 Open
In the coming years gravitational-wave detectors will undergo a series of improvements, with an increase in their detection rate by about an order of magnitude. Routine detections of gravitational-wave signals promote novel astrophysical a…

Observing gravitational waves with a single detector Open
A major challenge of any search for gravitational waves is to distinguish\ntrue astrophysical signals from those of terrestrial origin. Gravitational-wave\nexperiments therefore make use of multiple detectors, considering only those\nsigna…

Parameter Estimation for Gravitational-wave Bursts with the BayesWave Pipeline Open
We provide a comprehensive multi-aspect study of the performance of a pipeline used by the LIGO-Virgo Collaboration for estimating parameters of gravitational-wave bursts. We add simulated signals with four different morphologies (sine-Gau…

Enabling high confidence detections of gravitational-wave bursts Open
With the advanced LIGO and Virgo detectors taking observations the detection\nof gravitational waves is expected within the next few years. Extracting\nastrophysical information from gravitational wave detections is a well-posed\nproblem a…

GRAVITATIONAL-WAVE CONSTRAINTS ON THE PROGENITORS OF FAST RADIO BURSTS Open
The nature of fast radio bursts (FRBs) remains enigmatic. Highly energetic radio pulses of millisecond duration, FRBs are observed with dispersion measures consistent with an extragalactic source. A variety of models have been proposed to …

Leveraging waveform complexity for confident detection of gravitational waves Open
The recent completion of Advanced LIGO suggests that gravitational waves\n(GWs) may soon be directly observed. Past searches for gravitational-wave\ntransients have been impacted by transient noise artifacts, known as glitches,\nintroduced…

MULTI-MESSENGER ASTRONOMY OF GRAVITATIONAL-WAVE SOURCES WITH FLEXIBLE WIDE-AREA RADIO TRANSIENT SURVEYS Open
We explore opportunities for multi-messenger astronomy using gravitational waves (GWs) and prompt, transient low-frequency radio emission to study highly energetic astrophysical events. We review the literature on possible sources of corre…
