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…
Heavy Black-Holes Also Matter in Standard Siren Cosmology
Grégoire Pierra, Alexander Papadopoulos
With the release of the Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog GWTC-4.0 by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) collaboration, 218 candidate detections of gravitational waves (GWs) from compac…
Inferring black hole formation channels in GWTC-4.0 via parametric mass-spin correlations derived from first principles
Emanuele Berti, Francesco Crescimbeni, Gabriele Franciolini +3
We investigate the differences between several proposed formation scenarios for binary black holes (BBHs), including isolated stellar evolution, dynamical assembly in dense cluster…
Non-Parametric Reconstruction of the Hubble Parameter from the Fourth Gravitational Wave Transient Catalog and DESI Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations
Grégoire Pierra, Alberto Colombo, Simone Mastrogiovanni
The release of the fourth Gravitational Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-4.0) by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration includes more than 200 compact binary coalescence (CBC) candidates t…
Gravitational wave cosmology : an introduction
Grégoire Pierra, Simone Mastrogiovanni
This chapter introduces gravitational wave cosmology, focusing on the use of gravitational waves as standard sirens to probe the expansion history of the Universe. It presents and…
Searching for additional structure and redshift evolution in the observed binary black hole population with a parametric time-dependent mass distribution
Vasco Gennari, Simone Mastrogiovanni, Nicola Tamanini +2
The population of the observed gravitational wave events encodes unique information on the formation and evolution of stellar-mass black holes, from the underlying astrophysical pr…
The spin magnitude of stellar-mass binary black holes evolves with the mass: evidence from gravitational wave data
Grégoire Pierra, Simone Mastrogiovanni, Stéphane Perriès
The relation between the mass and spin of stellar-mass binary black holes (BBHs) has been proposed to be a smoking gun for the presence of multiple formation channels for compact o…
Gravitational Wave Cosmology: Be Careful of the Black Hole Mass Spectrum
Grégoire Pierra
Gravitational waves (GWs) from compact binary coalescences (CBCs) offer insights into the universe expansion. The spectral siren method, used without electromagnetic counterparts (…
A Study of Systematics on the Cosmological Inference of the Hubble Constant from Gravitational Wave Standard Sirens
Grégoire Pierra, Simone Mastrogiovanni, Stéphane Perriès +1
Gravitational waves (GWs) from compact binary coalescences (CBCs) can constrain the cosmic expansion of the universe. In the absence of an associated electromagnetic counterpart, t…
ICAROGW: A python package for inference of astrophysical population properties of noisy, heterogeneous and incomplete observations
Simone Mastrogiovanni, Grégoire Pierra, Stéphane Perriès +6
We present icarogw 2.0, a pure CPU/GPU python code developed to infer astrophysical and cosmological population properties of noisy, heterogeneous, and incomplete observations. ica…
A novel approach to infer population and cosmological properties with gravitational waves standard sirens and galaxy surveys
Simone Mastrogiovanni, Danny Laghi, Rachel Gray +7
Gravitational wave (GW) sources at cosmological distances can be used to probe the expansion rate of the Universe. GWs directly provide a distance estimation of the source but no d…
The Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy catalog approach for gravitational wave cosmology
Jonathan R. Gair, Archisman Ghosh, Rachel Gray +28
We outline the ``dark siren'' galaxy catalog method for cosmological inference using gravitational wave (GW) standard sirens, clarifying some common misconceptions in the implement…
