GW231109_235456: A Sub-threshold Binary Neutron Star Merger in the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA O4a Observing Run?

Wanting Niu, Carl-Johan Haster, Jolien D. E. Creighton +25

We present a subthreshold search for gravitational-wave inspirals from binary neutron stars using data from the first part of the fourth observing run of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Colla…

On the use of galaxy catalogs in gravitational-wave parameter estimation

Geoffrey Mo, Carl-Johan Haster, Erik Katsavounidis

A major challenge in gravitational-wave multi-messenger astrophysics is the imprecise localization of gravitational-wave compact binary mergers. We investigate the use of a method…

Search for Gravitational Waves Associated with Gamma-Ray Bursts Detected by Fermi and Swift During the LIGO-Virgo Run O3a

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1250

We search for gravitational-wave transients associated with gamma-ray bursts detected by the Fermi and Swift satellites during the first part of the third observing run of Advanced…

Massive Stellar Triples Leading to Sequential Binary Black-Hole Mergers in the Field

Alejandro Vigna-Gómez, Silvia Toonen, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +3

Stellar triples with massive stellar components are common, and can lead to sequential binary black-hole mergers. Here, we outline the evolution towards these sequential mergers, a…

Properties and astrophysical implications of the 150 Msun binary black hole merger GW190521

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1254

The gravitational-wave signal GW190521 is consistent with a binary black hole merger source at redshift 0.8 with unusually high component masses, and $6…

GW190814: Gravitational Waves from the Coalescence of a 23 M Black Hole with a 2.6 M Compact Object

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, R. Abbott +1254

We report the observation of a compact binary coalescence involving a 22.2 - 24.3 black hole and a compact object with a mass of 2.50 - 2.67 (all measuremen…
