All-sky, all-frequency directional search for persistent gravitational-waves from Advanced LIGO's and Advanced Virgo's first three observing runs
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1627
We present the first results from an all-sky all-frequency (ASAF) search for an anisotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background using the data from the first three observing r…
GWTC-4.0: Methods for Identifying and Characterizing Gravitational-wave Transients
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1809
The Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC) is a collection of candidate gravitational-wave transient signals identified and characterized by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration…
GWTC-4.0: An Introduction to Version 4.0 of the Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1808
The Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC) is a collection of short-duration (transient) gravitational wave signals identified by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration in gravita…
Archival Multiband Gravitational-Wave Signals from Massive Black Hole Binary Mergers
Alexander W. Criswell, Stephen R. Taylor, Kris Pardo +4
While massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) merge at gravitational-wave frequencies above the pulsar timing array (PTA) sensitivity band, we show that they leave orphaned low-frequen…
A Foundation for Gravitational-Wave Population Inference within the LISA Global Fit
Alexander W. Criswell, Sharan Banagiri, Vera Delfavero +3
Population inference in gravitational-wave astronomy allows us to connect individual detections to the astrophysics of compact objects and their environments. Current approaches em…
Tests of General Relativity with GWTC-3
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1682
The ever-increasing number of detections of gravitational waves (GWs) from compact binaries by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors allows us to perform ever-more sensiti…
