| contents | In the coming years, third-generation detectors such as Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explorer will enter the network of ground-based gravitational-wave detectors. Their current design predicts a significantly improved sensitivity band with a lower minimum frequency than existing detectors. This, combined with the increased arm length, leads to two major effects: the detection of more signals and the detection of longer signals. Both will result in a large number of overlapping signals.
It has been shown that such overlapping signals can lead to biases in the recovered parameters, which would adversely affect the science extracted from the observed binary merger signals. In this work, we analyze overlapping binary black hole coalescences with two methods to analyze multi-signal observations: \textit{hierarchical subtraction} and \textit{joint parameter estimation}. We find that these methods enable a reliable parameter extraction in most cases and that joint parameter estimation is usually more precise but comes with higher computational costs. |
