Prospects of electromagnetic follow-up of neutron star-black hole mergers in the LIGO-India era
Yogita Kumari, Kanchan Soni, Sanjit Mitra
Neutron star-black hole (NSBH) mergers are promising multimessenger sources, but only a subset is expected to produce detectable electromagnetic (EM) counterparts, depending on the…
Potential science with GW250114 -- the loudest binary black hole merger detected to date
Aleyna Akyüz, Alex Correia, Jada Garofalo +7
On January 14, 2025 the LIGO interferometers detected a gravitational wave from the merger of two black holes, GW250114. Using publicly available information, we estimate that the…
Eccentricity signatures in LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA's BNS and NSBH binaries
Keisi Kacanja, Kanchan Soni, Alexander Harvey Nitz
Measurement of eccentricity in low-mass binary systems through gravitational waves is crucial to distinguish between various formation channels. Detecting eccentricity in these sys…
A statistic for the identification of strongly lensed gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences
Sudhir Gholap, Kanchan Soni, Shasvath J. Kapadia +1
Gravitational waves (GWs) emanated by stellar mass compact binary coalescences (CBCs), and lensed by galaxy- or cluster-scale lenses, will produce two or more copies of the GW sign…
Hierarchical searches for subsolar-mass binaries and the third-generation gravitational wave detector era
Kanchan Soni, Alexander H. Nitz
The detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from coalescing compact binaries has become routine with ground-based detectors like LIGO and Virgo. However, beyond standard sources suc…
Detectability of eccentric binary black holes with PyCBC and cWB pipelines during the third observing run of LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA
Bhooshan Gadre, Kanchan Soni, Shubhanshu Tiwari +3
Detecting binary black hole (BBH) mergers with quantifiable orbital eccentricity would confirm the existence of a dynamical formation channel for these binaries. The current state-…
Virgo Detector Characterization and Data Quality: tools
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +491
Detector characterization and data quality studies -- collectively referred to as {\em DetChar} activities in this article -- are paramount to the scientific exploitation of the jo…
Virgo Detector Characterization and Data Quality: results from the O3 run
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +491
The Advanced Virgo detector has contributed with its data to the rapid growth of the number of detected gravitational-wave (GW) signals in the past few years, alongside the two Adv…

F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +491
The Advanced Virgo detector has contributed with its data to the rapid growth of the number of detected gravitational-wave signals in the past few years, alongside the two LIGO ins…
Salient features of the optimised PyCBC IMBH search
Koustav Chandra, Archana Pai, V. Villa-Ortega +5
Matched-filter based PyCBC searches have successfully detected compact binary merger signals in the LIGO-Virgo data. While most PyCBC searches have been desi…
Hierarchical search for compact binary coalescences in the Advanced LIGO's first two observing runs
Kanchan Soni, Bhooshan Uday Gadre, Sanjit Mitra +1
Detection of many compact binary coalescences (CBCs) is one of the primary goals of the present and future ground-based gravitational-wave (GW) detectors. While increasing the dete…
An optimized PyCBC search for gravitational waves from intermediate-mass black hole mergers
Koustav Chandra, V. Villa-Ortega, T. Dent +5
The detection of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) i.e. those with mass -, is an emerging goal of gravitational-wave (GW) astronomy with wide implicatio…
All-sky search in early O3 LIGO data for continuous gravitational-wave signals from unknown neutron stars in binary systems
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1369
Rapidly spinning neutron stars are promising sources of persistent, continuous gravitational waves. Detecting such a signal would allow probing of the physical properties of matter…
