Search for Compact Binary Coalescences with Sub-solar Mass Components in Data from the Second Part of LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA's Fourth Observing Run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1816

We report on a gravitational wave search for compact binary coalescences with secondary mass between 0.2 M and 1 M and primary mass between 0.2 M and 10 M, restricting the componen…

Updated Upper Limits on the Isotropic Gravitational-Wave Background from LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA Data through April 2025

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1805

We report results from a search for an isotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background using data collected by the LIGO--Virgo--KAGRA Collaboration. The analysis uses data from…

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…

Constraints on ultralight bosons from merging binary and remnant black holes observed during the second and third parts of the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1808

We present constraints on ultralight bosons using binary black hole mergers observed in the second and third parts of the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run. Directed searches a…

Fast gravitational waveform models for quasi-circular coalescences of neutron star--black hole binaries

Felip A. Ramis Vidal, Adrian Abac, Marta Colleoni +5

We present IMRPhenomXHM_NSBH and SEOBNRv5HM_ROM_NRTidalv3_NSBH, the first two frequency-domain models for gravitational-wave signals from quasi-circular, aligned-spin neutron star-…

GWTC-5.0: Tests of General Relativity

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1822

The signals from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA network of gravitational-wave (GW) detectors allow us to perform sensitive tests of general relativity (GR) in the dynamical and strong-field…
