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…
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 (…
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…
