• Model comparison from LIGO–Virgo data on GW170817’s binary components and consequences for the merger remnant

  Classical and Quantum Gravity · 2020 · 145 citations

  Abstract 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 electromagnetic counterparts, and offers an opportunity to directly probe the internal structure of neutron stars. We perform Bayesian model selection on a wide range of theoretical predictions for the neutron star equation of state. For the binary neutron star hypothesis, we find that we cannot rule out the majority of…

• All-sky, all-frequency directional search for persistent gravitational waves from Advanced LIGO’s and Advanced Virgo’s first three observing runs

  Physical review. D/Physical review. D. · 2022 · 33 citations

  We present the first results from an all-sky all-frequency (ASAF) search for an anisotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background using the data from the first three observing runs of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. Upper limit maps on broadband anisotropies of a persistent stochastic background were published for all observing runs of the LIGO-Virgo detectors. However, a broadband analysis is likely to miss narrowband signals as the signal-to-noise ratio of a narrowband signa…

• Instrumentation Methodologies for Car Accident Prevention

  IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Magazine · 2025-03-31 · 2 citations

  article

  Road accidents remain one of the most pressing concerns in global transportation systems. Approximately 1.35 million people die annually in road accidents globally, with many more sustaining injuries, which result in permanent disability. Cars contribute to most of these accidents. This growing issue has led to research efforts to improve road safety through technological advancements. Most of these advancements were developed through the instrumentation and measurement technologies deployed in…
