Inferring black hole formation channels in GWTC-4.0 via parametric mass-spin correlations derived from first principles
Emanuele Berti, Francesco Crescimbeni, Gabriele Franciolini +3
We investigate the differences between several proposed formation scenarios for binary black holes (BBHs), including isolated stellar evolution, dynamical assembly in dense cluster…
Science of the LISA mission: A Summary for the European Strategy for Particle Physics
Chiara Caprini, Anna Heffernan, Richard Brito +4
The LISA mission is an international collaboration between ESA, its member states, and NASA, for the detection of gravitational waves from space. It was adopted in January 2024 and…
Likelihoods for Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background Data Analysis
Gabriele Franciolini, Mauro Pieroni, Angelo Ricciardone +1
We present a systematic study of likelihood functions used for Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background (SGWB) searches. By dividing the data into many short segments, one customar…
The Science of the Einstein Telescope
Adrian Abac, Raul Abramo, Simone Albanesi +485
Einstein Telescope (ET) is the European project for a gravitational-wave (GW) observatory of third-generation. In this paper we present a comprehensive discussion of its science ob…
Challenges and Opportunities of Gravitational Wave Searches above 10 kHz
Nancy Aggarwal, Odylio D. Aguiar, Diego Blas +34
The first direct measurement of gravitational waves by the LIGO and Virgo collaborations has opened up new avenues to explore our Universe. This white paper outlines the challenges…
Flea on the elephant: Tidal Love numbers in subsolar primordial black hole searches
Valerio De Luca, Gabriele Franciolini, Antonio Riotto
Detecting subsolar objects in black hole binary mergers is considered a smoking gun signature of primordial black holes. Their supposedly vanishing tidal Love number is generically…
