Direct multi-model dark-matter search with gravitational-wave interferometers using data from the first part of the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1767

We search data from the first part of the fourth observing run of LIGO--Virgo--KAGRA for three kinds of dark matter -- dilatons (spin-0), dark photons (spin-1) and tensor bosons (s…

GWTC-4.0: Constraints on the Cosmic Expansion Rate and Modified Gravitational-wave Propagation

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1772

We analyze data from 142 of the 218 gravitational-wave (GW) sources in the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration (LVK) Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-4.0) to estimate t…

Ultralight vector dark matter search using data from the KAGRA O3GK run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1800

Among the various candidates for dark matter (DM), ultralight vector DM can be probed by laser interferometric gravitational wave detectors through the measurement of oscillating l…

Constraints on the cosmic expansion history from GWTC-3

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1676

We use 47 gravitational-wave sources from the Third LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-3) to estimate the Hubble parameter , including its current va…

Search for subsolar-mass binaries in the first half of Advanced LIGO and Virgo's third observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1634

We report on a search for compact binary coalescences where at least one binary component has a mass between 0.2 and 1.0 in Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo dat…

Constraints on dark photon dark matter using data from LIGO's and Virgo's third observing run

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1627

We present a search for dark photon dark matter that could couple to gravitational-wave interferometers using data from Advanced LIGO and Virgo's third observing run. To perform th…

A new analysis of quasar polarisation alignments

Vincent Pelgrims, Jean-Rene Cudell

We propose a new method to analyse the alignment of optical polarisation vectors from quasars. This method leads to a definition of intrinsic preferred axes and to a determination…

The nuclear physics of OHe

J. R. Cudell, M. Khlopov, Q. Wallemacq

A recent composite-dark-matter scenario assumes that the dominant fraction of dark matter consists of O-helium (OHe) dark atoms, in which a lepton-like doubly charged particle O is…

New constraints on very light pseudoscalars

A. Payez, J. R. Cudell, D. Hutsemékers

Nearly massless axion-like particles are of interest for astrophysical observations, and some constraints on their parameter space do exist in the literature. Here, we propose to p…

New polarimetric constraints on axion-like particles

A. Payez, J. R. Cudell, D. Hutsemékers

We show that the parameter space of axion-like particles can be severly constrained using high-precision measurements of quasar polarisations. Robust limits are derived from the me…

Can axion-like particles explain the alignments of the polarisations of light from quasars?

A. Payez, J. R. Cudell, D. Hutsemékers

The standard axion-like particle explanation of the observed large-scale coherent orientations of quasar polarisation vectors is ruled out by the recent measurements of vanishing o…

Large-scale coherent orientations of quasar polarisation vectors: interpretation in terms of axion-like particles

A. Payez, D. Hutsemekers, J. R. Cudell

The observation of redshift-dependent coherent orientations of quasar polarisation vectors over cosmological distances in some regions of the sky is reviewed. Based on a good-quali…

On the circular polarisation of light from axion-photon mixing

A. Payez, J. R. Cudell, D. Hutsemékers

From the analysis of measurements of the linear polarisation of visible light coming from quasars, the existence of large-scale coherent orientations of quasar polarisation vectors…

Axion-like particles and circular polarisation of active galactic nuclei

A. Payez, J. R. Cudell, D. Hutsemékers

The measurements of the linear polarisation of visible light from quasars give strong evidence for large-scale coherent orientations of their polarisation vectors in some regions o…
