Reply to Comment on "Analysis of Ringdown Overtones in GW150914"

Gregorio Carullo, Roberto Cotesta, Emanuele Berti +1

In this Reply we include the corrections suggested in the Comment [Phys. Rev. Lett. 131, 169001]. We show that their impact on our results is small, and that the overall conclusion…

Extracting linear and nonlinear quasinormal modes from black hole merger simulations

Mark Ho-Yeuk Cheung, Emanuele Berti, Vishal Baibhav +1

In general relativity, when two black holes merge they produce a rotating (Kerr) black hole remnant. According to perturbation theory, the remnant emits "ringdown" radiation: a sup…

Black-hole mergers in disklike environments could explain the observed - correlation

Alessandro Santini, Davide Gerosa, Roberto Cotesta +1

Current gravitational-wave data from stellar-mass black-hole binary mergers suggest a correlation between the binary mass ratio and the effective spin : more un…

Probing wave-optics effects and low-mass dark matter halos with lensing of gravitational waves from massive black holes

Mesut Çalışkan, Neha Anil Kumar, Lingyuan Ji +4

The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will detect gravitational waves (GWs) emitted by massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) in the low-frequency (mHz) band. Low-mass l…

Single-event likelihood of star cluster properties with LIGO-Virgo-Kagra binary black hole observations

Ken K. Y. Ng, Konstantinos Kritos, Andrea Antonelli +2

The population of binary black hole mergers observed in gravitational waves, together with astrophysical simulations, can help us to understand the properties of the progenitors an…

Classifying the generation and formation channels of individual LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observations from dynamically formed binaries

Andrea Antonelli, Konstantinos Kritos, Ken K. Y. Ng +2

We address two important questions in gravitational-wave astronomy. What is the astrophysical formation scenario leading to black-hole binary mergers? Did some of the merging black…

Search for gravitational-lensing signatures in the full third observing run of the LIGO-Virgo network

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1692

Gravitational lensing by massive objects along the line of sight to the source causes distortions of gravitational wave-signals; such distortions may reveal information about funda…
