We describe an implementation of the relative binning technique to speed up parameter estimation of gravitational-wave signals. We first give a pedagogical overview of relative binning, discussing also the expressions for the likelihood marginalized over phase and distance. Then, we describe the details of the code in \texttt{Bilby}, an open-source software package commonly used for parameter estimation of gravitational-wave sources. Our code is able to reproduce the parameters of GW170817 in 14 hours on a single-core CPU, performs well on simulated signals, and passes the percentile-percentile (p-p) tests. We also illustrate that relative binning is an ideal technique to estimate the parameters of signals in next-generation gravitational wave detectors.

  1. Rapid Hubble constant inference from GW170817 using GPU-accelerated nested sampling: prior sensitivity and the limits of post-hoc reweighting

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 accept novelty 6.5 of 10

    GPU-accelerated nested sampling on GW170817 demonstrates that switching to a uniform-in-dL prior shifts the H0 tail and median far more than post-hoc reweighting captures, due to an under-sampled (dL, iota) bimodality.

  2. Ab Initio Real-Time Gravitational-Wave Parameter Estimation

    gr-qc 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Slice-within-Gibbs nested sampling on modern GPUs delivers well-calibrated BNS parameter estimation in ~12 minutes uncompressed and ~89 seconds with heterodyning, from cold priors.

    nmma now jointly samples nuclear EoS parameters with GW and EM data via TOV emulators and Fiesta surrogates, delivering 20–60× speedups and future H0–nuclear constraints.

  5. Reconsidering the consistent use of precessing, higher order multipole models for gravitational wave analyses

    gr-qc 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A matched-filter SNR threshold on precession and higher-multipole content can select cheaper waveform models per event while keeping inferred black-hole mass and spin populations consistent, cutting analysis cost by t...

  6. A pipeline to search for signatures of line-of-sight acceleration in gravitational wave signals produced by compact binary coalescences

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

    Line-of-sight acceleration phase corrections for gravitational waves are extended to aligned-spin and tidal binaries, and a pipeline with selection criteria is tested against several acceleration-mimicking effects.

    Modeling all significant correlations with the nonparametric model PixelPop recovers the true black-hole merger rate in a simulated 400-event gravitational-wave catalog, while simpler models introduce bias.

    A quantile regression neural network produces real-time credible intervals for chirp mass, mass ratio, and total mass of compact binary mergers, with coverage mostly above 90%, and these intervals serve as priors that...

  10. The Long Road to Alignment: Measuring Black Hole Spin Orientation with Expanding Gravitational-Wave Datasets

    astro-ph.HE 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Simulated gravitational-wave catalogs show spin-tilt peaks at alignment are hard to confirm even with 1500 events, while integrated tilt fractions are robust.

  11. Scaling relations for the uncertainty in neutron star radius inferred from pulse profile modelling: the effect of spin rate

    astro-ph.HE 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Simulated pulse-profile modelling with X-PSI shows radius credible intervals stop shrinking once neutron star spin exceeds about 200 Hz, contradicting a simple 1/f scaling.

    astro-ph.HE 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Population-level inference on the azimuthal spin angle phi12 can recover simulated spin-orbit resonant features, but no definitive evidence exists in current LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA data.
