Sub-Torque-Balance Upper Limits on Continuous Gravitational Waves from Scorpius X-1

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1836

We present the results of a search for continuous gravitational waves from the low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius X-1 using LIGO data from the first part of the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA…

GWTC-5.0: Population Properties of Merging Compact Binaries

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1813

We present the population properties of merging compact binaries inferred using 267 mergers from the cumulative Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog 5.0. As this data set contains…

GW241011 and GW241110: Exploring Binary Formation and Fundamental Physics with Asymmetric, High-Spin Black Hole Coalescence

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1783

We report the observation of gravitational waves from two binary black hole coalescences during the fourth observing run of the LIGO--Virgo--KAGRA detector network, GW241011 and GW…

Hiding Out at the Low End: No Gap and a Peak in the Black-Hole Mass Spectrum

Anarya Ray, Will Farr, Vicky Kalogera

In recent years, the existence of a gap in the mass spectrum of compact objects formed from stellar collapse, between the heaviest neutron stars and the lightest black holes, has b…

Identifying Compact Chirping SMBHBs in LSST using Bayesian Analysis

Chengcheng Xin, Maximiliano Isi, Will M. Farr +1

The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) is expected to observe up to million quasars in the next decade. In this work, we show that it is possible to use such data t…

Background information: a study on the sensitivity of astrophysical gravitational-wave background searches

Arianna I. Renzini, Thomas A. Callister, Katerina Chatziioannou +1

The vast majority of gravitational-wave signals from stellar-mass compact binary mergers are too weak to be individually detected with present-day instruments and instead contribut…

Physical Models for the Astrophysical Population of Black Holes: Application to the Bump in the Mass Distribution of Gravitational Wave Sources

Jacob Golomb, Maximiliano Isi, Will Farr

Gravitational wave observations of binary black holes have revealed unexpected structure in the black hole mass distribution. Previous studies of the mass distribution employ physi…

Comment on "Analysis of Ringdown Overtones in GW150914''

Maximiliano Isi, Will M. Farr

Cotesta et al. (2022) reanalyze the GW150914 ringdown, arguing against the presence of an overtone and suggesting claims of its detection in Isi et al. (2019) were driven by noise.…

Going the Distance: Mapping Host Galaxies of LIGO and Virgo Sources in Three Dimensions Using Local Cosmography and Targeted Follow-up

L. P. Singer, H. -Y. Chen, D. E. Holz +17

The Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) discovered gravitational waves (GWs) from a binary black hole merger in 2015 September and may soon observe…
