Kick & spin: new probes for multi-messenger black-hole mergers in AGNs
Samson H. W. Leong, Juan Calderón Bustillo
Recoiling remnants of black-hole mergers in dense environments can produce bright electromagnetic (EM) counterparts to the gravitational-wave (GW) emission. Significance assessment…
Tests of General Relativity with GWTC-3
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1682
The ever-increasing number of detections of gravitational waves (GWs) from compact binaries by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors allows us to perform ever-more sensiti…
Identifying Proca-star mergers via consistent ultralight-boson mass estimates across gravitational-wave events
Ana Lorenzo-Medina, Juan Calderón Bustillo, Samson H. W. Leong
While black-hole and neutron-star mergers are the most plausible sources of current gravitational-wave observations, mergers of exotic compact objects may mimic these signals. Proc…
GW231123: a Binary Black Hole Merger with Total Mass 190-265
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1771
On 2023 November 23 the two LIGO observatories both detected GW231123, a gravitational-wave signal consistent with the merger of two black holes with masses $137^{+23}_{-18}\, M_\o…
GW241011 and GW241110: Exploring Binary Formation and Fundamental Physics with Asymmetric, High-Spin Black Hole Coalescence
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1783
We report the observation of gravitational waves from two binary black hole coalescences during the fourth observing run of the LIGO--Virgo--KAGRA detector network, GW241011 and GW…
Gravitational-wave signatures of mirror (a)symmetry in binary black hole mergers: measurability and correlation to gravitational-wave recoil
Samson H. W. Leong, Alejandro Florido Tomé, Juan Calderón Bustillo +2
Precessing binary black-hole mergers can produce a net flux of circularly-polarized gravitational waves. This imbalance between left- and right-handed circularly polarized waves, q…
