GW241011 and GW241110: Exploring Binary Formation and Fundamental Physics with Asymmetric, High-Spin Black Hole Coalescence

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1783

We report the observation of gravitational waves from two binary black hole coalescences during the fourth observing run of the LIGO--Virgo--KAGRA detector network, GW241011 and GW…

Detecting electromagnetic counterparts to LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA gravitational wave events with DECam: Neutron Star Mergers

Keerthi Kunnumkai, Antonella Palmese, Amanda M Farah +7

With GW170817 being the only multimessenger gravitational wave (GW) event with an associated kilonova detected so far, there exists a pressing need for realistic estimation of the…

What is the nature of GW230529? An exploration of the gravitational lensing hypothesis

Justin Janquart, David Keitel, Rico K. L. Lo +26

On the 29th of May 2023, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration observed a compact binary coalescence event consistent with a neutron star-black hole merger, though the heavier object…

Kilonova emission from GW230529 and mass gap neutron star-black hole mergers

Keerthi Kunnumkai, Antonella Palmese, Mattia Bulla +3

The detection of the gravitational wave event GW230529, presumably a neutron star-black hole (NSBH) merger, by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) Collaboration marks an exciting discovery…

No need to know: astrophysics-free gravitational-wave cosmology

Amanda M. Farah, Thomas A. Callister, Jose María Ezquiaga +2

Gravitational waves (GWs) from merging compact objects encode direct information about the luminosity distance to the binary. When paired with a redshift measurement, this enables…

Two of a Kind: Comparing big and small black holes in binaries with gravitational waves

Amanda M. Farah, Maya Fishbach, Daniel E. Holz

When modeling the population of merging binary black holes, analyses have generally focused on characterizing the distribution of primary (i.e. more massive) black holes in the bin…

Updated observing scenarios and multi-messenger implications for the International Gravitational-wave Network's O4 and O5

R. Weizmann Kiendrebeogo, Amanda M. Farah, Emily M. Foley +14

An advanced LIGO and Virgo's third observing run brought another binary neutron star merger (BNS) and the first neutron-star black hole mergers. While no confirmed kilonovae were i…

Things that might go bump in the night: Assessing structure in the binary black hole mass spectrum

Amanda M. Farah, Bruce Edelman, Michael Zevin +4

Several features in the mass spectrum of merging binary black holes (BBHs) have been identified using data from the Third Gravitational Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-3). These featu…
