Population-Level Verification of the Black-Hole Area Law with First- and Second-Generation Black Holes
Shao-Peng Tang, Yin-Jie Li, Yi-Zhong Fan
Hawking's area theorem states that the total event-horizon area of classical black holes can never decrease. Gravitational-wave tests of this law have so far focused on individual…
Fast Radio Bursts Trace Cosmic Star Formation with Little Delay
Yi-Ying Wang, Yin-Jie Li, Yi-Zhong Fan
The progenitor channels of fast radio bursts (FRBs) remain debated, with a central question being whether their cosmic rate traces star formation promptly or instead follows it wit…
Smoking-gun evidence for hierarchical black-hole mergers
Yin-Jie Li, Yuan-Zhu Wang, Shao-Peng Tang +1
How stellar-mass black holes grow after their birth is a central open question in astrophysics. Gravitational-wave observations have revealed a subpopulation of coalescing black ho…
A new group of low-spin Black Holes and the high pair-instability mass cutoff
Yuan-Zhu Wang, Yin-Jie Li, Shi-Jie Gao +2
Pair-instability supernovae (PISN) will not leave compact remnants and hence yield a mass gap of the black holes. Though a transition point at , separating low-…
Evidence for the dynamical dark energy with evolving Hubble constant
Yi-Ying Wang, Yin-Jie Li, Yi-Zhong Fan
Hubble constant tension, together with the recent indications of dynamical dark energy proposed from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) baryon acoustic oscillation (BA…
Aligned Hierarchical Black Hole Mergers in Active-Galactic-Nuclei Disks Revealed by GWTC-4
Yin-Jie Li, Yuan-Zhu Wang, Shao-Peng Tang +1
The active galactic nucleus (AGN) accretion disks are ideal sites for hierarchical black hole (BH) mergers. To robustly probe such a possibility, we analyze binary black hole merge…
GW231123: Likely a product of successive mergers from stellar-mass black holes
Yin-Jie Li, Shao-Peng Tang, Ling-Qin Xue +1
GW231123 is an exceptionally massive binary black hole (BBH) merger with unusually high component spins. Such extreme properties challenge conventional stellar evolution models pre…
Revealing the - Correlation among Coalescing Binary Black Holes and Tentative Evidence for AGN-driven Hierarchical Mergers
Yin-Jie Li, Yuan-Zhu Wang, Shao-Peng Tang +2
The origin of the correlation between the effective spins () and mass ratios () of LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA's binary black holes (BBHs) is still an open question. Motivated…
Forecast Analysis of Astrophysical Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background beyond general relativity: A Case Study on Brans-Dicke Gravity
Ran Chen, Zhao Li, Yin-Jie Li +4
Scalar-tensor gravity, exemplified by Brans-Dicke (BD) gravity, introduces additional scalar polarization modes that contribute scalar radiation alongside tensor modes. We conduct…
The Heavier the Faster: A Sub-population of Heavy, Rapidly Spinning and Quickly Evolving Binary Black Holes
Wei-Hua Guo, Yin-Jie Li, Yuan-Zhu Wang +4
The spins of binary black holes (BBHs) measured from gravitational waves carry notable information of the formation pathways. Here we propose a quantity "dimensionless net spin" ($…
Multi-spectral Sirens: Gravitational-wave Cosmology with (Multi-) Sub-populations of Binary Black Holes
Yin-Jie Li, Shao-Peng Tang, Yuan-Zhu Wang +1
The cosmic expansion rate can be directly measured with gravitational-wave (GW) data of the compact binary mergers by jointly constraining the mass function of the population and t…
Dark Matter Spike surrounding Supermassive Black Holes Binary and the Nanohertz Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background
Zhao-Qiang Shen, Guan-Wen Yuan, Yi-Ying Wang +3
The NANOGrav, PPTA, EPTA, CPTA and MPTA collaborations have reported compelling evidence for the existence of the Stochastic Gravitational-Wave Background (SGWB). This inferred bac…
