Abstract Matched-filtering detection techniques for gravitational-wave (GW) signals in ground-based interferometers rely on having well-modeled templates of the GW emission. Such have been traditionally used searches compact binary coalescences (CBCs), and employed all known detections so far. However, interesting science cases aside from mergers do not yet accurate enough modeling to make matched filtering possible, including core-collapse supernovae sources where stochasticity may be...
Abstract Low-latency noise regression algorithms are crucial for maximizing the science outcomes of LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA gravitational-wave detectors. This includes improvements in detectability, source localization pre-merger detectability signals thereby enabling rapid multi-messenger follow-up. In this paper, we demonstrate effectiveness DeepClean , a convolutional neural network architecture that uses witness sensors to estimate subtract non-linear non-stationary from strain data. Our...
The promise of multi-messenger astronomy relies on the rapid detection gravitational waves at very low latencies ($\mathcal{O}$(1\,s)) in order to maximize amount time available for follow-up observations. In recent years, neural-networks have demonstrated robust non-linear modeling capabilities and millisecond-scale inference a comparatively small computational footprint, making them an attractive family algorithms this context. However, integration these into gravitational-wave...
Abstract In the flourishing field of gravitational-wave astronomy, accurately inferring binary black hole merger formation channels is paramount. The Bayesian hierarchical model selection analysis offers a promising methodology (see, e.g., “One Channel to Rule Them All” ). However, recently, Cheng et al. highlighted critical caveat: observed absent in known models can bias branching fraction estimates. this research note, we introduce test detect missing such analyses. Our findings show...

This paper presents the results of a Neural Network (NN)-based search for short-duration gravitational-wave transients in data from third observing run LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA. The targets unmodeled with durations milliseconds to few seconds 30-1500 Hz frequency band, without assumptions about incoming signal direction, polarization, or morphology. Using Gravitational Wave Anomalous Knowledge (GWAK) method, three compact binary coalescences (CBCs) identified by existing pipelines are...
