Enabling gravitational-wave astronomy with spin-precessing black holes on generic orbits

Aldo Gamboa, Lorenzo Pompili, Alessandra Buonanno +7

Binary black holes (BBHs) formed in dense stellar environments or in hierarchical triples can coalesce on eccentric orbits and carry spins of arbitrary orientation, leaving distinc…

A stepping stone toward detecting gravitational wave memory: a cumulative analysis with the full spherical harmonic using events from GWTC-4.0 and GWTC-5.0

Maria Rosselló-Sastre, Sascha Husa, Yumeng Xu +3

We perform Bayesian model selection to test for the presence of the spherical harmonic mode in gravitational wave events that have previously been identified as bina…

Accurate waveforms for generic planar-orbit binary black holes: The multipolar effective-one-body model SEOBNRv6EHM

Aldo Gamboa, Alessandra Buonanno, Lorenzo Pompili +8

Accurate and computationally efficient waveform models are required to infer the parameters of compact binaries from their gravitational wave (GW) emission. Among these parameters,…

Merger remnant and eccentricity dynamics surrogates for eccentric nonspinning black hole binaries

Adhrit Ravichandran, Peter James Nee, Keefe Mitman +22

Accurate models of merger remnants are increasingly important for gravitational-wave science, including precision tests of gravity with ringdown, inference of black-hole population…

Including higher-order modes in a quadrupolar eccentric numerical relativity surrogate using universal eccentric modulation functions

Tousif Islam, Adhrit Ravichandran, Peter James Nee +15

\texttt{gwNRHME} is a framework that converts multi-modal (i.e., containing several spherical harmonic modes) quasi-circular waveforms into their eccentric counterparts, provided t…

Advanced Virgo Plus for O5 -- Design Report Overview

F. Acernese, A. Agapito, D. Agarwal +578

This document presents an overview of the design, implementation, and expected performance of the Advanced Virgo Plus (AdV+) upgrades in view of the O5 observing run. Following the…

LISA science ground segment conventions

Quentin Baghi, Stanislas Babak, Leor Barack +22

This document sets out the conventions used for data simulations, waveforms, and analysis pipelines within the Distributed Data Processing Centre (DDPC) of the Laser Interferometer…

Eccentricity constraints disfavor single-single capture in nuclear star clusters as the origin of all LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA binary black holes

Nihar Gupte, M. Coleman Miller, Rhiannon Udall +12

Multiple formation pathways have been proposed for the origin of binary black holes (BBHs). These include isolated binary evolution and dynamical assembly in dense stellar environm…

Fast frequency-domain phenomenological modeling of eccentric aligned-spin binary black holes

Antoni Ramos-Buades, Quentin Henry, Maria Haney

We present the IMRPhenomXE frequency-domain phenomenological waveform model for the dominant mode of inspiral-merger-ringdown non-precessing binary black holes in elliptical orbits…
