LIGO A: Detector Design and Science Prospects Beyond A+

L. Sun, K. Kuns, B. J. J. Slagmolen +1153

We present the LIGO A detector concept, an upgrade for the LIGO observatories based on room-temperature interferometers beyond the fifth observing run (O5). Building on th…

Reconstructing Core-Collapse Supernova Gravitational-Wave Signals with Transdimensional Bayesian Inference

Hayden Chapman, Jade Powell, Nir Guttman +2

Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) are promising future sources of gravitational waves for current and next-generation observatories. Reconstructing CCSN gravitational-wave signals i…

Revealing Four Subpopulations of Binary Black-Hole Mergers with the Fifth Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog

Nir Guttman, Paul D. Lasky, Eric Thrane

Gravitational-wave data are beginning to reveal a structured landscape of black-hole masses and spins, suggesting multiple formation processes are now being resolved observationall…

Licence to Bin: Accurate and Scalable Inference for Binary Neutron Stars in Next-Generation Gravitational-Wave Detectors

Nir Guttman, A. Makai Baker, Paul D. Lasky +1

Next-generation gravitational-wave observatories will observe binary neutron-star mergers with much higher signal-to-noise ratios, over much longer durations and across broader fre…

A transdimensional sampling framework for pulsar timing noise modelling

Valentina Di Marco, Nir Guttman, Matthew T. Miles +3

A careful characterisation of the noise processes in pulsar timing data is a prerequisite for pulsar timing array experiments. While single-pulsar noise analyses are crucial for bo…

Trends in the Population of Binary Black Holes Following the Fourth Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog: a Data-Driven Analysis

Nir Guttman, Ethan Payne, Paul D. Lasky +1

Current population models of binary black hole distributions are difficult to interpret because standard population inferences hinge on modeling choices, which can mask or mimic re…

Do both black holes spin in merging binaries? Evidence from GWTC-4 and astrophysical implications

Christian Adamcewicz, Nir Guttman, Paul D. Lasky +1

Angular momentum transport in high-mass stars is commonly modeled by extrapolating the behavior of better-observed low-mass stars. According to the conventional picture, the cores…

Evidence of the pair instability gap from black hole masses

Hui Tong, Maya Fishbach, Eric Thrane +13

Stellar theory predicts a forbidden range of black-hole masses between -- due to pair-instability supernovae, but evidence for such a gap in the mass distri…

A Gaussian process framework for testing general relativity with gravitational waves

Lachlan Passenger, Shun Yin Cheung, Nir Guttman +3

Gravitational-wave astronomy provides a promising avenue for the discovery of new physics beyond general relativity as it probes extreme curvature and ultra-relativistic dynamics.…

Modelling noise in gravitational-wave observatories with transdimensional models

Nir Guttman, Paul D. Lasky, Eric Thrane

Modelling noise in gravitational-wave observatories is crucial for accurately inferring the properties of gravitational-wave sources. We introduce a transdimensional Bayesian appro…

Possible Causes of False General Relativity Violations in Gravitational Wave Observations

Anuradha Gupta, K. G. Arun, Enrico Barausse +40

General relativity (GR) has proven to be a highly successful theory of gravity since its inception. The theory has thrivingly passed numerous experimental tests, predominantly in w…
