From driven oscillations to free ringdown: a particle plunging into Kerr

Colin Weller, Andrew Laeuger, Fulin Li +5

We show that a ringdown waveform can admit a constant-coefficient quasinormal-mode (QNM) representation while its individual QNM-pole contributions remain driven. To establish this…

Updated Upper Limits on the Isotropic Gravitational-Wave Background from LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA Data through April 2025

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1805

We report results from a search for an isotropic stochastic gravitational-wave background using data collected by the LIGO--Virgo--KAGRA Collaboration. The analysis uses data from…

Complex frequency evolution of direct waves from binary black hole mergers

Ling Sun, Sizheng Ma, Patrick P. Chen +3

While no signal originating at a black hole's event horizon can reach future null infinity, information about the horizon and its immediate vicinity can be encoded in asymptotic pr…

Chiral symmetry and black hole isospectrality

Colin Weller, Dongjun Li, Pratik Wagle +3

We prove that black-hole isospectrality between linearly independent solutions follows whenever radiative metric and matter perturbations are reconstructed from complex master vari…

LIGO A: Detector Design and Science Prospects Beyond A+

L. Sun, K. Kuns, B. J. J. Slagmolen +1153

We present the LIGO A detector concept, an upgrade for the LIGO observatories based on room-temperature interferometers beyond the fifth observing run (O5). Building on th…

Constraints on ultralight bosons from merging binary and remnant black holes observed during the second and third parts of the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1808

We present constraints on ultralight bosons using binary black hole mergers observed in the second and third parts of the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run. Directed searches a…
