First LVK Meeting!!

[EGO & the Virgo Collaboration @ego_virgo]

Here’s a group picture of the in person attendees of the
@LIGO - Virgo - @KAGRA_PR annual meeting, taking place this week in Toyama, Japan!

@astro_abbiy @maxisi @physicskaze @farrwill I’m not sure if this is helpful, but I started from this course last year. They are organizing it again this year and it is starting in a few days.

First Paper!! Thank you so much @maxisi @physicskaze @farrwill

@astro_abbiy @maxisi @physicskaze @farrwill And I learned a lot from this project😄

[Thomas Ng @thomas_ckng]

@astro_abbiy @maxisi @physicskaze @farrwill It is!!

[Thomas Ng @thomas_ckng]

Although both collective measurements are consistent with κ=0 (no evidence for amplitude birefringence), we identified new correlations between attenuation and binary parameters (e.g. spin) when we look into some notable events. (details in the paper)

[Thomas Ng @thomas_ckng]

For the second set, we considered each event to have a specific value of kappa drawn from an underlying Gaussian distribution to investigate possible diagnostics and explore extra physics. (labeled as generic)

Went to work at 1 am on the last day of work in CCA. Definitely going to miss here🥲 Thank you for everything. @cosmo_shirley @physicskaze @maxisi @farrwill

And that makes the end of our “post PAX” meeting, hosting 50 gravitational-wave enthusiasts @CenterForAstro @HarvardITC to interactively discuss open problems in #GW astronomy
