The Next Generation Global Gravitational Wave Observatory: The Science Book
Vicky Kalogera, B. S. Sathyaprakash, Matthew Bailes +88
The next generation of ground-based gravitational-wave detectors will observe coalescences of black holes and neutron stars throughout the cosmos, thousands of them with exceptiona…
The effect of spin mismodeling on gravitational-wave measurements of the binary neutron star mass distribution
Sylvia Biscoveanu, Colm Talbot, Salvatore Vitale
The binary neutron star (BNS) mass distribution measured with gravitational-wave observations has the potential to reveal information about the dense matter equation of state, supe…
A Horizon Study for Cosmic Explorer: Science, Observatories, and Community
Matthew Evans, Rana X Adhikari, Chaitanya Afle +29
This Horizon Study describes a next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave observatory: Cosmic Explorer. With ten times the sensitivity of Advanced LIGO, Cosmic Explorer will p…
An Infrared Search for Kilonovae with the WINTER Telescope. I. Binary Neutron Star Mergers
Danielle Frostig, Sylvia Biscoveanu, Geoffrey Mo +8
The Wide-Field Infrared Transient Explorer (WINTER) is a new 1 seeing-limited time-domain survey instrument designed for dedicated near-infrared follow-up of kilonov…
On the single-event-based identification of primordial black hole mergers at cosmological distances
Ken K. Y. Ng, Shiqi Chen, Boris Goncharov +7
The existence of primordial black holes (PBHs), which may form from the collapse of matter overdensities shortly after the Big Bang, is still under debate. Among the potential sign…
Hints of spin-orbit resonances in the binary black hole population
Vijay Varma, Sylvia Biscoveanu, Maximiliano Isi +2
Binary black hole spin measurements from gravitational wave observations can reveal the binary's evolutionary history. In particular, the spin orientations of the component black h…
Measuring binary black hole orbital-plane spin orientations
Vijay Varma, Maximiliano Isi, Sylvia Biscoveanu +2
Binary black hole spins are among the key observables for gravitational wave astronomy. Among the spin parameters, their orientations within the orbital plane, , and $Δϕ…
The relative contribution to heavy metals production from binary neutron star mergers and neutron star-black hole mergers
Hsin-Yu Chen, Salvatore Vitale, Francois Foucart
The origin of the heavy elements in the Universe is not fully determined. Neutron star-black hole (NSBH) and {binary neutron star} (BNS) mergers may both produce heavy elements via…
Measuring the spins of heavy binary black holes
Sylvia Biscoveanu, Maximiliano Isi, Vijay Varma +1
An accurate and precise measurement of the spins of individual merging black holes is required to understand their origin. While previous studies have indicated that most of the sp…
Who Ordered That? Unequal-Mass Binary Black Hole Mergers Have Larger Effective Spins
Thomas A. Callister, Carl-Johan Haster, Ken K. Y. Ng +2
Hierarchical analysis of the binary black hole (BBH) detections by the Advanced LIGO and Virgo detectors has offered an increasingly clear picture of their mass, spin, and redshift…
Searching for a subpopulation of primordial black holes in LIGO/Virgo gravitational-wave data
Gabriele Franciolini, Vishal Baibhav, Valerio De Luca +6
With several dozen binary black hole events detected by LIGO/Virgo to date and many more expected in the next few years, gravitational-wave astronomy is shifting from individual-ev…
Bayesian inference for gravitational waves from binary neutron star mergers in third-generation observatories
Rory Smith, Ssohrab Borhanian, Bangalore Sathyaprakash +10
Third-generation (3G) gravitational-wave detectors will observe thousands of coalescing neutron star binaries with unprecedented fidelity. Extracting the highest precision science…
