Assessing the Impact of Instrumental Requirements on the Scientific Performance of the Einstein Telescope
Ulyana Dupletsa, Francesco Iacovelli, Mikhail Korobko +23
We investigate the relationship between instrumental requirements and the scientific performance of the Einstein Telescope (ET), a third-generation (3G) gravitational-wave (GW) obs…
Pebbles to Gems: Intermediate-mass black holes in the first star clusters
Benedetta Mestichelli, Manuel Arca Sedda, Marta Volonteri +9
The rapid assembly of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) observed at requires efficient seeding mechanisms in the early Universe. Population III (Pop. III) star clusters…
The impact of stellar binaries and star cluster dynamics on pair-instability supernovae
Francesco Gabrielli, Cristiano Ugolini, Lavinia Paiella +12
Pair-instability supernovae (PISNe) are among the most luminous transients in the Universe. However, they have never been confidently observed. Solving this puzzle would have key i…
Advanced Virgo Plus for O5 -- Design Report Overview
F. Acernese, A. Agapito, D. Agarwal +578
This document presents an overview of the design, implementation, and expected performance of the Advanced Virgo Plus (AdV+) upgrades in view of the O5 observing run. Following the…
Isolated or Dynamical? Tracing Black Hole Binary Formation through the Population of Gravitational-Wave Sources
Manuel Arca Sedda, Lavinia Paiella, Cristiano Ugolini +5
The population of binary black hole (BBH) mergers observed by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) collaboration offers a window into the cosmic evolution of compact binaries and their forma…
Teen TITANS simulations -- I. Inefficient intermediate-mass black hole seeding via stellar collisions in young massive clusters
Benedetta Mestichelli, Sara Rastello, Michela Mapelli +2
Young massive clusters (YMCs) provide favorable environments for frequent stellar collisions, potentially leading to the formation of very massive stars (VMSs) and seeds of interme…
Uncovering the population of compact binary mergers and their formation pathways with gravitational waves through the Einstein Telescope
M. Arca-Sedda, I. Dvorkin, G. Franciolini +19
Ground-based gravitational-wave (GW) observatories have transformed our view of compact-object mergers, yet their reach still limits a comprehensive reconstruction of the processes…
Seeds to success: growing heavy black holes in dense star clusters
Lavinia Paiella, Manuel Arca Sedda, Benedetta Mestichelli +1
The observational dearth of black holes (BHs) with masses between 100 and 100,000 raises questions about the nature of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs). Propos…
Black Hole - Neutron Star and Binary Neutron Star Mergers from Population III and II stars
Benedetta Mestichelli, Michela Mapelli, Filippo Santoliquido +9
Population III (Pop.III) stars are expected to be massive and to undergo minimal mass loss due to their lack of metals, making them ideal progenitors of black holes and neutron…
Binary black hole mergers from Population III star clusters
Benedetta Mestichelli, Michela Mapelli, Stefano Torniamenti +5
Binary black holes (BBHs) born from the evolution of Population III (Pop. III) stars are one of the main high-redshift targets for next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave (…
The boring history of Gaia BH3 from isolated binary evolution
Giuliano Iorio, Stefano Torniamenti, Michela Mapelli +15
Gaia BH3 is the first observed dormant black hole (BH) with a mass of M and represents the first confirmation that such massive BHs are associated with metal-…
Opportunities and limits of lunar gravitational-wave detection
Andrea Cozzumbo, Benedetta Mestichelli, Marco Mirabile +3
A new era of lunar exploration has begun with participation of all major space agencies. This activity brings opportunities for revolutionary science experiments and observatories…
