Probing (sub-)solar-mass black holes and superspinars with current and next-generation gravitational-wave observatories
K. S. Sruthy, N. V. Krishnendu, Chandrachur Chakraborty +1
Gravitational-wave observations provide a powerful probe of compact objects and strong-field gravity. In this work, we investigate the detectability of binaries containing (sub-)so…
Implications of GW241011 for rotating exotic compact objects
N. V. Krishnendu, Tamara Evstafyeva, Aditya Vijaykumar +17
A number of theoretical proposals have been made for horizonless compact objects with masses and spins similar to those of black holes. While gravitational wave signatures from the…
Decadal upgrade strategy for KAGRA toward post-O5 gravitational-wave astronomy
KAGRA Collaboration, T. Akutsu, M. Ando +150
The KAGRA Collaboration has investigated a ten-year upgrade strategy for the KAGRA gravitational wave detector, considering a total of 14 upgrade options that vary in mirror mass,…
Identification of Noise-Associated Glitches in KAGRA O3GK with Hveto
T. Akutsu, M. Ando, M. Aoumi +148
Transient noise ("glitches") in gravitational wave detectors can mimic or obscure true signals, significantly reducing detection sensitivity. Identifying and excluding glitch-conta…
Follow-up analyses of the binary-neutron-star signals GW170817 and GW190425 by using post-Newtonian waveform models
Tatsuya Narikawa, Nami Uchikata
We reanalyze the binary-neutron-star signals, GW170817 and GW190425, focusing on the inspiral regime to avoid uncertainties on waveform modeling in the postinspiral regime. We use…
Gravitational-wave constraints on the GWTC-2 events by measuring the tidal deformability and the spin-induced quadrupole moment
Tatsuya Narikawa, Nami Uchikata, Takahiro Tanaka
Gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences provide a unique laboratory to test properties of compact objects. As alternatives to the ordinary black holes in general relat…
