No evidence that the binary black hole mass distribution evolves with redshift

Max Lalleman, Kevin Turbang, Thomas Callister +1

The mass distribution of merging binary black holes is generically predicted to evolve with redshift, reflecting systematic changes in their astrophysical environment, stellar prog…

Gravitational waves from cosmic strings in Froggatt-Nielsen flavour models

Simone Blasi, Lorenzo Calibbi, Alberto Mariotti +1

Gravitational waves (GW) are a powerful probe of the earliest moments in the Universe, enabling us to test fundamental interactions at energy scales beyond the reach of laboratory…

The metallicity dependence and evolutionary times of merging binary black holes: Combined constraints from individual gravitational-wave detections and the stochastic background

Kevin Turbang, Max Lalleman, Thomas A. Callister +1

The advent of gravitational-wave astronomy is now allowing for the study of compact binary merger demographics throughout the Universe. This information can be leveraged as tools f…

pygwb: Python-based library for gravitational-wave background searches

Arianna I. Renzini, Alba Romero-Rodrguez, Colm Talbot +31

The collection of gravitational waves (GWs) that are either too weak or too numerous to be individually resolved is commonly referred to as the gravitational-wave background (GWB).…

A stochastic search for intermittent gravitational-wave backgrounds

Jessica Lawrence, Kevin Turbang, Andrew Matas +3

A likely source of a gravitational-wave background (GWB) in the frequency band of the Advanced LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA detectors is the superposition of signals from the population o…

Stochastic gravitational wave background: methods and Implications

Nick van Remortel, Kamiel Janssens, Kevin Turbang

Beyond individually resolvable gravitational wave events such as binary black hole and binary neutron star mergers, the superposition of many more weak signals coming from a multit…

Virgo Detector Characterization and Data Quality: results from the O3 run

F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +491

The Advanced Virgo detector has contributed with its data to the rapid growth of the number of detected gravitational-wave (GW) signals in the past few years, alongside the two Adv…

Friction on ALP domain walls and gravitational waves

Simone Blasi, Alberto Mariotti, Aäron Rase +2

We study the early Universe evolution of axion-like particle (ALP) domain walls taking into account the effect of friction from particles in the surrounding plasma, including the c…

Probing Early Universe Supercooled Phase Transitions with Gravitational Wave Data

Charles Badger, Bartosz Fornal, Katarina Martinovic +8

We investigate the reach of the LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA detectors in the search for signatures of first-order phase transitions in the early Universe. Utilising data from the first three…

The Virgo O3 run and the impact of the environment

F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +486

Sources of geophysical noise (such as wind, sea waves and earthquakes) or of anthropogenic noise impact ground-based gravitational-wave interferometric detectors, causing transient…

Baryogenesis via relativistic bubble expansion

Iason Baldes, Simone Blasi, Alberto Mariotti +2

We present a novel baryogenesis mechanism in which the asymmetry is sourced from heavy particles which either gain their mass or are created during bubble expansion in a strong fir…
