Probing Binary Black Hole Formation Channels through Cosmic Large-Scale Structure
William J. Smith, Krystal Ruiz-Rocha, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann +2
The growing number of binary black hole mergers detected through gravitational waves offers unprecedented insight into their underlying population, yet their astrophysical formatio…
Laser Interferometer Lunar Antenna (LILA): Advancing the U.S. Priorities in Gravitational-wave and Lunar Science
Karan Jani, Matthew Abernathy, Emanuele Berti +30
The Laser Interferometer Lunar Antenna (LILA) is a next-generation gravitational-wave (GW) facility on the Moon. By harnessing the Moon's unique environment, LILA fills a critical…
Massive Double White Dwarf Binary Mergers from the Moon: Extending the Reach of Multi-messenger Astrophysics
Manuel Pichardo Marcano, Anjali B. Yelikar, Karan Jani
We explore the potential of lunar-based gravitational-wave detectors to broaden the multi-messenger astrophysics landscape by detecting mergers of massive () do…
Properties of 'Lite' Intermediate-Mass Black Hole Candidates in LIGO-Virgo's Third Observing Run
Krystal Ruiz-Rocha, Anjali B. Yelikar, Jacob Lange +5
Over a hundred gravitational-wave (GW) detections and candidates have been reported from the first three observing runs of the Advanced LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) detectors. Among thes…
