Inferring the population properties of galactic binaries from LISA's stochastic foreground

Federico De Santi, Alessandro Santini, Alexandre Toubiana +2

Galactic binaries are expected to be the most numerous LISA sources and to produce a stochastic gravitational-wave foreground whose spectral shape encodes information about the und…

Exceptionality of exceptional gravitational-wave events

Rodrigo Tenorio, Davide Gerosa

In gravitational-wave astronomy, as in other scientific disciplines, ``exceptional'' sources attract considerable interest because they challenge our current understanding of the u…

Ab uno disce omnes: Single-harmonic search for extreme mass-ratio inspirals

Lorenzo Speri, Rodrigo Tenorio, Christian Chapman-Bird +1

Extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) are one of the key sources of gravitational waves for space-based detectors such as LISA. However, their detection remains a major data analysi…

Where did Heavy Binaries Go? Gravitational-wave Populations Using Delaunay Triangulation with Optimized Complexity

Rodrigo Tenorio, Alexandre Toubiana, Tristan Bruel +2

We investigate the joint mass-redshift evolution of the binary black-hole merger rate in the latest Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog, GWTC-4.0. We present and apply a novel non…

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…

Bayesian luminosity function estimation in multi-depth datasets with selection effects: A case study for Lyman emitters

Davide Tornotti, Matteo Fossati, Michele Fumagalli +3

We present a hierarchical Bayesian framework designed to infer the luminosity function of any class of object by jointly modelling data from multiple surveys with varying depth, co…

A recoiling supermassive black hole in a powerful quasar

Marco Chiaberge, Takahiro Morishita, Matteo Boschini +14

Supermassive black holes (SMBH) are thought to grow through accretion of matter and mergers. Models of SMBH mergers have long suffered the final parsec problem, where SMBH binaries…

Test for LISA foreground Gaussianity and stationarity: galactic white-dwarf binaries

Riccardo Buscicchio, Antoine Klein, Valeriya Korol +4

Upcoming space-based gravitational-wave detectors will be sensitive to millions and resolve tens of thousands of stellar-mass binary systems at mHz frequencies. The vast majority o…

Stars or gas? Constraining the hardening processes of massive black-hole binaries with LISA

Alice Spadaro, Riccardo Buscicchio, David Izquierdo-Villalba +3

Massive black-hole binaries will be the loudest sources detectable by LISA. These systems are predicted to form during the hierarchical assembly of cosmic structures and coalesce b…

Astrophysical and relativistic modeling of the recoiling black-hole candidate in quasar 3C 186

Matteo Boschini, Davide Gerosa, Om Sharan Salafia +1

The compact object in quasar 3C 186 is one of the most promising recoiling black-hole candidates, exhibiting both an astrometric displacement between the quasar and the host galaxy…
