Binary Neutron Stars from the Moon: Early Warnings and Precision Science for the Artemis Era
Anjali B. Yelikar, Karan Jani
Binary neutron star mergers are unique probes of matter at extreme density and standard candles of cosmic expansion. The only such event observed in both gravitational waves and el…
Probing Binary Black Hole Formation Channels through Cosmic Large-Scale Structure
William J. Smith, Krystal Ruiz-Rocha, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann +2
The growing number of binary black hole mergers detected through gravitational waves offers unprecedented insight into their underlying population, yet their astrophysical formatio…
Massive Double White Dwarf Binary Mergers from the Moon: Extending the Reach of Multi-messenger Astrophysics
Manuel Pichardo Marcano, Anjali B. Yelikar, Karan Jani
We explore the potential of lunar-based gravitational-wave detectors to broaden the multi-messenger astrophysics landscape by detecting mergers of massive () do…
Laser Interferometer Lunar Antenna (LILA): Advancing the U.S. Priorities in Gravitational-wave and Lunar Science
Karan Jani, Matthew Abernathy, Emanuele Berti +30
The Laser Interferometer Lunar Antenna (LILA) is a next-generation gravitational-wave (GW) facility on the Moon. By harnessing the Moon's unique environment, LILA fills a critical…
A Sea of Black Holes: Characterizing the LISA Signature for Stellar-Origin Black Hole Binaries
Krystal Ruiz-Rocha, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann, Karan Jani +3
Observations by the LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA (LVK) detectors have provided new insights in the demographics of stellar-origin black hole binaries (sBHB). A few years before gravitatio…
Properties of 'Lite' Intermediate-Mass Black Hole Candidates in LIGO-Virgo's Third Observing Run
Krystal Ruiz-Rocha, Anjali B. Yelikar, Jacob Lange +5
Over a hundred gravitational-wave (GW) detections and candidates have been reported from the first three observing runs of the Advanced LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) detectors. Among thes…
