Assessing the Impact of Instrumental Requirements on the Scientific Performance of the Einstein Telescope
Ulyana Dupletsa, Francesco Iacovelli, Mikhail Korobko +23
The paper evaluates how different design choices and noise characteristics of the Einstein Telescope affect its ability to detect and analyze various gravitational‑wave sources, us…
Pebbles to Gems: Intermediate-mass black holes in the first star clusters
Benedetta Mestichelli, Manuel Arca Sedda, Marta Volonteri +9
The rapid assembly of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) observed at requires efficient seeding mechanisms in the early Universe. Population III (Pop. III) star clusters…
The impact of stellar binaries and star cluster dynamics on pair-instability supernovae
Francesco Gabrielli, Cristiano Ugolini, Lavinia Paiella +12
Pair-instability supernovae (PISNe) are among the most luminous transients in the Universe. However, they have never been confidently observed. Solving this puzzle would have key i…
Advanced Virgo Plus for O5 -- Design Report Overview
F. Acernese, A. Agapito, D. Agarwal +578
This document presents an overview of the design, implementation, and expected performance of the Advanced Virgo Plus (AdV+) upgrades in view of the O5 observing run. Following the…
Isolated or Dynamical? Tracing Black Hole Binary Formation through the Population of Gravitational-Wave Sources
Manuel Arca Sedda, Lavinia Paiella, Cristiano Ugolini +5
The population of binary black hole (BBH) mergers observed by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) collaboration offers a window into the cosmic evolution of compact binaries and their forma…
Teen TITANS simulations -- I. Inefficient intermediate-mass black hole seeding via stellar collisions in young massive clusters
Benedetta Mestichelli, Sara Rastello, Michela Mapelli +2
Young massive clusters (YMCs) provide favorable environments for frequent stellar collisions, potentially leading to the formation of very massive stars (VMSs) and seeds of interme…
