Advanced Virgo during the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA fourth observing run
Virgo Collaboration, F Acernese, A Agapito +546
From April 10, 2024 to November 18, 2025 Advanced Virgo participated in the fourth observing run of the network of gravitational-wave detectors, together with Advanced LIGO and KAG…
Cosmology from Synergies Between SKAO Surveys and Gravitational Wave Observations
Tessa Baker, Alberto Colombo, Steven Cunnington +11
Both radio surveys and gravitational wave observations have the potential to probe unprecedented volumes in the Universe with systematics independent of existing cosmological probe…
Radio sirens: inferring with binary black holes and neutral hydrogen in the era of the Einstein Telescope and the SKA Observatory
Ulyana Dupletsa, Simone Mastrogiovanni, Marta Spinelli +11
A new synergy between gravitational waves (GWs) and the study of the large-scale structure of the Universe is now emerging. Along this line of research, we combine simulated observ…
The Instrumented Baffle at the Input Mode Cleaner of Advanced Virgo Plus: Four years of Successful Operation as a Monitor of Stray Light
Dounia Nanadoumgar-Lacroze, Monica Seglar-Arroyo, Mario Martinez +2
The suspended end mirror of the input mode cleaner cavity in the Advanced Virgo Plus interferometer was equipped with an instrumented baffle in spring 2021, serving as a demonstrat…
Advanced Virgo Plus for O5 -- Design Report Overview
F. Acernese, A. Agapito, D. Agarwal +578
This document presents an overview of the design, implementation, and expected performance of the Advanced Virgo Plus (AdV+) upgrades in view of the O5 observing run. Following the…
Cosmology and modified GW propagation from the BNS mass function at third-generation detector networks
Dounia Nanadoumgar-Lacroze, Niccolò Muttoni, Michele Maggiore +1
We perform forecasts for the Hubble parameter H_0 and for the parameter Xi_0 that describes modified gravitational-wave propagation, using information from the binary neutron star…
