Search for Compact Binary Coalescences with Sub-solar Mass Components in Data from the Second Part of LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA's Fourth Observing Run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1816

We report on a gravitational wave search for compact binary coalescences with secondary mass between 0.2 M and 1 M and primary mass between 0.2 M and 10 M, restricting the componen…

Directional Search for Persistent Gravitational Waves: Results from the First Part of LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA's Fourth Observing Run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1765

The angular distribution of gravitational-wave power from persistent sources may exhibit anisotropies arising from the large-scale structure of the Universe. This motivates directi…

Resonant enhanced detection of the higher-order modes of a locked cavity

Ricardo Cabrita, Aaron Goodwin-Jones, Joris van Heijningen +5

Current gravitational-wave (GW) detectors are limited in the amount of circulating power they can reach. Optical absorption in the test masses leads to thermal effects that shift t…

Search for continuous gravitational waves from known pulsars in the first part of the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1816

Continuous gravitational waves (CWs) emission from neutron stars carries information about their internal structure and equation of state, and it can provide tests of General Relat…
