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…

Statistical evidence for massive black hole recoils in active galactic nuclei

Bence Bécsy, Peter Raffai, Zoltán Haiman +2

We search for a population-level signature of gravitational-wave recoiling supermassive black holes: a positive correlation between dust obscuration and the magnitude of the line-o…

Searches for Continuous Gravitational Waves from Supernova Remnants in the first part of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Fourth Observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1764

We present results from directed searches for continuous gravitational waves from a sample of 15 nearby supernova remnants, likely hosting young neutron star candidates, using data…

Constraints on gravitational waves from the 2024 Vela pulsar glitch

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1774

Among known neutron stars, the Vela pulsar is one of the best targets for gravitational-wave searches. It is also one of the most prolific in terms of glitches, sudden frequency ch…
