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…
Realistic Time-Domain Synthesis of Gravitational-Wave Detector Glitches using Class-Conditional Derivative Generative Adversarial Networks
Tom Dooney, Mees de Boer, Harsh Narola +4
Gravitational-wave detectors are highly sensitive instruments susceptible to numerous noise sources. Short-duration transient noise events, known as glitches, pose a particular cha…
Impact of the Einstein Telescope's duty cycle on the estimation of binary black holes parameters
Luca Negri, Thomas C. K. Ng, Thibeau Wouters +13
The geometry of the Einstein Telescope, the proposed next-generation European gravitational-wave observatory, is yet to be finalized. Two competing designs are under consideration:…
Detecting Tidal Resonances in Binary Neutron Stars
Fabian Gittins, Harsh Narola, Thibeau Wouters +3
As a binary neutron star inspirals due to the emission of gravitational waves, the rising tidal frequency resonantly excites vibrational modes. These oscillations are seismological…
ler: LVK (LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration) event (compact-binary mergers) rate calculator and simulator
Hemantakumar Phurailatpam, Anupreeta More, Harsh Narola +7
ler is a Python package for simulating compact-binary gravitational-wave populations and estimating detectable event rates for current and future LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA detector networks…
GW231123: Overlapping Gravitational Wave Signals?
Qian Hu, Harsh Narola, Jef Heynen +4
The recently discovered gravitational wave event GW231123 was interpreted as the merger of two black holes with a total mass of 190-265 , making it the heaviest such merge…
