Title

Inferring Compact Object Mass Distribution With The Einstein Telescope
Coauthors Izzabel Kowalska-Leszczynska

Abstract

The Einstein Telescope is the project to build a third generation gravitational wave observatory, consisting of three co-located interferometers, that will be able to detect double neutron star coalescences up to a redshift of unity. A gravitational wave observation provides a measurement of the redshifted chirp mass of the binary. We show that the Einstein Telescope provides a way to break the degeneracy between the chirp mass and redshift, and allows to estimate the mass and redshift distribution of the merging binaries. We discuss the accuracy of the method and possible application to constrain the compact object binary formation history.
