GWTC-4.0: Searches for Gravitational-Wave Lensing Signatures

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1766

Gravitational waves can be gravitationally lensed by massive objects along their path. Depending on the lens mass and the lens--source geometry, this can lead to the observation of…

Directional Search for Persistent Gravitational Waves: Results from the First Part of LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA's Fourth Observing Run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1765

The angular distribution of gravitational-wave power from persistent sources may exhibit anisotropies arising from the large-scale structure of the Universe. This motivates directi…

Direct multi-model dark-matter search with gravitational-wave interferometers using data from the first part of the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1767

We search data from the first part of the fourth observing run of LIGO--Virgo--KAGRA for three kinds of dark matter -- dilatons (spin-0), dark photons (spin-1) and tensor bosons (s…
