GW240925 and GW250207: Astrophysical Calibration of Gravitational-wave Detectors

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1839

GW240925 and GW250207 are two loud gravitational-wave signals from binary black hole coalescences observed with network signal-to-noise ratios and , respectively…

Searches for Continuous Gravitational Waves from Supernova Remnants in the first part of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Fourth Observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1764

We present results from directed searches for continuous gravitational waves from a sample of 15 nearby supernova remnants, likely hosting young neutron star candidates, using data…

Data-Driven Acceleration of Eccentricity Reduction for Binary Black Hole Simulations

Vittoria Tommasini, Nils L. Vu, Mark A. Scheel +1

Reducing orbital eccentricity in numerical relativity simulations of binary black holes is essential for producing astrophysically relevant gravitational wave models, as many of th…

Narrowband searches for continuous gravitational waves from known pulsars in the first two parts of the fourth LIGO--Virgo--KAGRA observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1853

Rotating non-axisymmetric neutron stars (NSs) are promising sources for continuous gravitational waves (CWs). Such CWs can, if detected, inform us about the internal structure and…

Fixing the center-of-mass frame of numerical relativity waveforms using the post-Newtonian center-of-mass charge

Aniket Khairnar, Leo C. Stein, Michael Boyle +7

The Bondi--van der Burg--Metzner--Sachs (BMS) frame of gravitational waves produced by numerical relativity (NR) simulations is crucial for building accurate waveform models. A pro…

Constraints on gravitational waves from the 2024 Vela pulsar glitch

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1774

Among known neutron stars, the Vela pulsar is one of the best targets for gravitational-wave searches. It is also one of the most prolific in terms of glitches, sudden frequency ch…
