GW230814: investigation of a loud gravitational-wave signal observed with a single detector
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration, The Kagra Collaboration +1783
GW230814, detected by the LIGO Livingston observatory with a signal-to-noise ratio of 42.4, represents the loudest gravitational-wave signal in the GWTC-4.0 catalog. Its source is…
GWTC-5.0: An Introduction to Version 5.0 of the Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1822
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…
Open Data from LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA through the Second Part of the Fourth Observing Run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1809
LIGO, Virgo, KAGRA, and GEO 600 form a network of gravitational-wave observatories. Data and analysis results from this network are made publicly available through the Gravitationa…
A universal framework to identify eccentric binary mergers: GW200105 case study
Teagan A. Clarke, Isobel M. Romero-Shaw, Charlie Hoy +3
Orbital eccentricity in gravitational-wave signals from merging compact object binaries is a powerful indicator of their formation channel. Several binary black hole mergers and a…
Searching for gravitational waves from compact binary mergers powering long gamma-ray bursts during LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA's O3 run
Mallika R. Sinha, Teagan A. Clarke, Qifang Zhang +3
Neutron star binary mergers are often associated with short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), but the recent detection of kilonovae coincident with long GRBs suggest that some mergers may p…
Compact Binary Coalescence Sensitivity Estimates with Injection Campaigns during the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaborations' Fourth Observing Run
Reed Essick, Michael W. Coughlin, Michael Zevin +21
We describe the effort to characterize gravitational-wave searches and detector sensitivity to different types of compact binary coalescences during the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaborat…
