Testing multiflavored ULDM models with SPARC

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Lauren Street, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, L. C. R. Wijewardhana, , | Summary: We perform maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) for single and double flavor ultralight dark matter (ULDM) models using the Spitzer Photometry and Accurate Rotation Curves (SPARC) database. These estimates are compared to MLEs for several […]

The orientations of the binary black holes in GWTC-3

Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Salvatore Vitale, Sylvia Biscoveanu, Colm Talbot, , | Summary: It is expected that the orbital planes of gravitational-wave (GW) sources are isotropically distributed. However, both physical and technical factors, such as alternate theories of gravity with birefringence, catalog contamination, and search algorithm limitations, could result in inferring […]
