The STARfall pathway: forging intermediate-mass black holes through stellar collisions in dense star clusters
Filippo Simonato, Manuel Arca Sedda, Taeho Ryu +15
Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs, ) are elusive objects bridging the gap between stellar-mass and supermassive black holes, whose o…
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…
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…
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…
Assembling GW231123 in star clusters through the combination of stellar binary evolution and hierarchical mergers
Lavinia Paiella, Cristiano Ugolini, Mario Spera +2
GW231123 is the most massive binary black hole (BBH) merger detected to date by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration. With at least one black hole (BH) in the upper-mass gap and both…
Comparing astrophysical models to gravitational-wave data in the observable space
Alexandre Toubiana, Davide Gerosa, Matthew Mould +9
Comparing population-synthesis models to the results of hierarchical Bayesian inference in gravitational-wave astronomy requires a careful understanding of the domain of validity o…
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…
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…
