LIGO A: Detector Design and Science Prospects Beyond A+
L. Sun, K. Kuns, B. J. J. Slagmolen +1153
We present the LIGO A detector concept, an upgrade for the LIGO observatories based on room-temperature interferometers beyond the fifth observing run (O5). Building on th…

Establishing Compactness as a Population Observable in Gravitational-Wave Astronomy
Shrobana Ghosh, Charlie Hoy, Mark Hannam +1
Classically, black holes (BHs) are the most compact objects predicted in nature with C=0.5 in the Schwarzschild limit; C is defined as the mass-to-radius ratio in geometric units.…

Compactness Inference in Gravitational-Wave Mergers with PhenomDECO: Catalog Benchmarks and Robustness Diagnostics
Shrobana Ghosh, Charlie Hoy, Mark Hannam +1
Several gravitational wave (GW) observations have been identified as binary black hole (BBH) mergers, including systems with component masses that challenge typical formation scena…
