GWTC-5.0: Observations from the Second Part of the Fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Observing Run and Updates to the Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1827

Version 5.0 of the Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-5.0) adds new candidates detected by the LIGO Virgo KAGRA network of observatories through the second part of the four…

Signatures of loop quantum gravity in primordial black hole cosmologies

Antoine Dierckx, Sébastien Clesse, Francesca Vidotto

The possibility that Dark Matter (DM) is partially or totally constituted by stable Planckian remnants of light Primordial Black Holes (PBHs), suggested for instance by Loop Quantu…

Popcorn in the sky: Identifying primordial black holes in the gravitational-wave background

Eleni Bagui, Sébastien Clesse, Federico De Lillo +2

Primordial black holes (PBHs) are possible sources of a gravitational-wave background (GWB), detectable with the next observing runs of LIGO--Virgo--KAGRA. In case of a detection,…

Probing Primordial Black Hole Mergers in Clusters with Pulsar Timing Data

S. Clesse, V. Dandoy, S. Verma

We consider the possibility that the stochastic gravitational wave (GW) background suggested by Pulsar Timing Array (PTA) datasets is sourced by Primordial Black Holes (PBHs). Spec…

Search for a gravitational wave background from primordial black hole binaries using data from the first three LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing runs

Tore Boybeyi, Sebastien Clesse, Sachiko Kuroyanagi +1

Using the cross-correlation data from the first three observing runs of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration, we search for a gravitational-wave background (GWB) from primordial blac…

Method to search for inspiraling planetary-mass ultra-compact binaries using the generalized frequency-Hough transform in LIGO O3a data

Andrew L. Miller, Nancy Aggarwal, Sebastien Clesse +6

Gravitational waves from sub-solar mass primordial black holes could be detected in LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA data. Here, we apply a method originally designed to look for rapidly spin…
