Constraints on ultralight bosons from merging binary and remnant black holes observed during the second and third parts of the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1808
We present constraints on ultralight bosons using binary black hole mergers observed in the second and third parts of the fourth LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing run. Directed searches a…
GWTC-5.0: Tests of General Relativity
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1822
The signals from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA network of gravitational-wave (GW) detectors allow us to perform sensitive tests of general relativity (GR) in the dynamical and strong-field…
GWTC-5.0: Population Properties of Merging Compact Binaries
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1813
We present the population properties of merging compact binaries inferred using 267 mergers from the cumulative Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog 5.0. As this data set contains…
Open Data from LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA through the Second Part of the Fourth Observing Run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1809
LIGO, Virgo, KAGRA, and GEO 600 form a network of gravitational-wave observatories. Data and analysis results from this network are made publicly available through the Gravitationa…
GWTC-5.0: Constraints on the Cosmic Expansion Rate and Modified Gravitational-wave Propagation
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1810
We employ 236 gravitational-wave (GW) sources in the fifth LIGO--Virgo--KAGRA Collaboration (LVK) Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-5.0) to estimate the Hubble constant $H…
