Advanced Virgo during the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA fourth observing run
Virgo Collaboration, F Acernese, A Agapito +546
From April 10, 2024 to November 18, 2025 Advanced Virgo participated in the fourth observing run of the network of gravitational-wave detectors, together with Advanced LIGO and KAG…
BinaryGFH-v2: Improved method to search for gravitational waves from sub-solar-mass, ultra-compact binaries using the Generalized Frequency-Hough Transform
Andrew L. Miller, Lorenzo Pierini
Observing gravitational waves from sub-solar-mass, inspiraling compact binaries would provide almost smoking-gun evidence for primordial black holes. Here, we develop a method to s…
A directed continuous-wave search from neutron stars in binary systems with the five-vector resampling technique
Francesco Amicucci, Paola Leaci, Pia Astone +8
Continuous gravitational-wave signals (CWs), which are typically emitted by rapidly rotating neutron stars with non-axisymmetric deformations, represent particularly intriguing tar…
A directed continuous-wave search from Scorpius X-1 with the five-vector resampling technique
Francesco Amicucci, Paola Leaci, Pia Astone +8
Continuous gravitational-wave signals (CWs), which are typically emitted by rapidly rotating neutron stars with non-axisymmetric deformations, represent particularly intriguing tar…
Doppler correlation-driven vetoes for the Frequency Hough analysis in continuous gravitational-wave searches
Matteo Di Giovanni, Paola Leaci, Pia Astone +8
We present an improved method for vetoing candidates of continuous gravitational-wave sources during all-sky searches utilizing the Frequency Hough pipeline. This approach leverage…
Gravitational wave constraints on planetary-mass primordial black holes using LIGO O3a data
Andrew L. Miller, Nancy Aggarwal, Sébastien Clesse +6
Gravitational waves from sub-solar mass inspiraling compact objects would provide almost smoking-gun evidence for primordial black holes (PBHs). We perform the first search for ins…
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…
Impact of signal clusters in wide-band searches for continuous gravitational waves
Lorenzo Pierini, Pia Astone, Cristiano Palomba +9
In this paper we present a study of some relevant steps of the hierarchical frequency-Hough (FH) pipeline, used within the LIGO and Virgo Collaborations for wide-parameter space se…

The Virgo O3 run and the impact of the environment
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +486
Sources of geophysical noise (such as wind, sea waves and earthquakes) or of anthropogenic noise impact ground-based gravitational-wave interferometric detectors, causing transient…
