The IFAE GW group contributed 3 talks to the April APS meeting 2021 (April 17-20)

“Implications for first-order cosmological phase transitions from the third LIGO-Virgo observing run ” by Alba Romero, Katarina Martinovic, Thomas A. Callister, et al. has been accepted for publication in Physical Review Letters.

The IFAE GW group is presenting 2 posters in the plenary poster session of the Ligo-Virgo-Kagra week

The GW group at IFAE is giving 2 presentations in the 55th Rencontres de Moriond 2021: Gravitation.

“Searches for Compact Binary Coalescence Events using Neural Networks in LIGO/Virgo Second Observation Period ” by A. Menendez et al., has been accepted for publication in Physical Review D.

The event is taking place online. Christos Karathanasis is contributing a talk: “Joint cosmological and population analyses using events from the first and second GWTC.”
