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…
Inferring host environment properties and gravitational-wave decay time from the eccentricity measurement of dynamically captured binaries
A. Vincent Paul, Parthapratim Mahapatra, Marc Favata +1
Dynamical capture in dense stellar environments is a promising channel for producing eccentric compact binary mergers. Although there have been no confident detections of eccentric…
GW240925 and GW250207: Astrophysical Calibration of Gravitational-wave Detectors
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1839
GW240925 and GW250207 are two loud gravitational-wave signals from binary black hole coalescences observed with network signal-to-noise ratios and , respectively…
Testing the Kerr hypothesis beyond the quadrupole with GW241011
Rimo Das, N. V. Krishnendu, M. Saleem +2
All multipole moments of a Kerr black hole are uniquely determined by its mass and spin. Gravitational wave observations can test this prediction by measuring spin-induced multipol…
GWTC-4.0: Tests of General Relativity. I. Overview and General Tests
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1781
The worldwide LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA network of gravitational-wave (GW) detectors continues to increase in sensitivity, thus increasing the quantity and quality of the detected GW signal…
