Advanced Virgo during the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA fourth observing run
Virgo Collaboration, F Acernese, A Agapito +546
The paper reports on Advanced Virgo's participation in the fourth observing run (O4) of the global gravitational‑wave detector network, describing the commissioning of its new sign…
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…
Reducing cosmological degeneracies by combining multiple classes of LISA gravitational-wave standard sirens
Danny Laghi, Nicola Tamanini, Alberto Sesana +6
We present the first joint gravitational-wave cosmological inference with LISA extreme mass-ratio inspirals at (galaxy redshifts) and massive black hole binaries at $z…
LISA science ground segment conventions
Quentin Baghi, Stanislas Babak, Leor Barack +22
This document sets out the conventions used for data simulations, waveforms, and analysis pipelines within the Distributed Data Processing Centre (DDPC) of the Laser Interferometer…
Systematic biases in parameter estimation on LISA binaries. II. The effect of excluding higher harmonics for spin-aligned, high-mass binaries
Sophia Yi, Francesco Iacovelli, Emanuele Berti +4
The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will observe massive black hole binaries (MBHBs) with astoundingly high signal-to-noise ratio, leaving parameter estimation with these…
Systematic biases in parameter estimation on LISA binaries: The effect of excluding higher harmonics for non-spinning binaries
Sophia Yi, Francesco Iacovelli, Sylvain Marsat +2
The remarkable sensitivity achieved by the planned Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will allow us to observe gravitational-wave signals from the mergers of massive black h…
