The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna will be able to detect the inspiral and merger of Super Massive Black Hole Binaries (SMBHBs) anywhere in the Universe. Standard matched filtering techniques can be used to detect and characterize these systems. Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are ideally suited to this and other LISA data analysis problems as they are able to efficiently handle models with large dimensions. Here we compare the posterior parameter distributions derived by an MCMC algorithm with the distributions predicted by the Fisher information matrix. We find excellent agreement for the extrinsic parameters, while the Fisher matrix slightly overestimates errors in the intrinsic parameters.

  1. Detectability and Parameter Estimation for Einstein Telescope Configurations with GWJulia

    astro-ph.CO 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new open-source Julia tool forecasts Einstein Telescope parameter-estimation accuracy, finding the 2L45 design marginally best for single parameters but comparable to other layouts when joint precision is required.

  2. DeepHMC : a deep-neural-network acclerated Hamiltonian Monte Carlo algorithm for binary neutron star parameter estimation

    gr-qc 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A neural-network surrogate for the log-likelihood gradients makes Hamiltonian Monte Carlo trajectories 30 times faster than relative-binning gradients and recovers LVK-consistent posteriors for two binary neutron star...
