Identifying heavy stellar black holes at cosmological distances with next generation gravitational-wave observatories
Stephen Fairhurst, Cameron Mills, Monica Colpi +4
We investigate the detectability of single-event coalescing black hole binaries with total mass of at cosmological distances () with t…
A Joint Fermi-GBM and Swift-BAT Analysis of Gravitational-Wave Candidates from the Third Gravitational-wave Observing Run
C. Fletcher, J. Wood, R. Hamburg +1696
We present Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (Fermi-GBM) and Swift Burst Alert Telescope (Swift-BAT) searches for gamma-ray/X-ray counterparts to gravitational wave (GW) candidate even…
Search for Eccentric Black Hole Coalescences during the Third Observing Run of LIGO and Virgo
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1772
Despite the growing number of confident binary black hole coalescences observed through gravitational waves so far, the astrophysical origin of these binaries remains uncertain. Or…
Cosmic Explorer: A Submission to the NSF MPSAC ngGW Subcommittee
Matthew Evans, Alessandra Corsi, Chaitanya Afle +73
Gravitational-wave astronomy has revolutionized humanity's view of the universe, a revolution driven by observations that no other field can make. This white paper describes an obs…
Search for gravitational-lensing signatures in the full third observing run of the LIGO-Virgo network
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1692
Gravitational lensing by massive objects along the line of sight to the source causes distortions of gravitational wave-signals; such distortions may reveal information about funda…
Simple parameter estimation using observable features of gravitational-wave signals
Stephen Fairhurst, Charlie Hoy, Rhys Green +2
Using simple, intuitive arguments, we discuss the expected accuracy with which astrophysical parameters can be extracted from an observed gravitational wave signal. The observation…
