Advanced Virgo during the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA fourth observing run
Virgo Collaboration, F Acernese, A Agapito +546
From April 10, 2024 to November 18, 2025 Advanced Virgo participated in the fourth observing run of the network of gravitational-wave detectors, together with Advanced LIGO and KAG…
Inferring black hole formation channels in GWTC-4.0 via parametric mass-spin correlations derived from first principles
Emanuele Berti, Francesco Crescimbeni, Gabriele Franciolini +3
We investigate the differences between several proposed formation scenarios for binary black holes (BBHs), including isolated stellar evolution, dynamical assembly in dense cluster…
Gravitational wave cosmology : an introduction
Grégoire Pierra, Simone Mastrogiovanni
This chapter introduces gravitational wave cosmology, focusing on the use of gravitational waves as standard sirens to probe the expansion history of the Universe. It presents and…
The Science of the Einstein Telescope
Adrian Abac, Raul Abramo, Simone Albanesi +485
Einstein Telescope (ET) is the European project for a gravitational-wave (GW) observatory of third-generation. In this paper we present a comprehensive discussion of its science ob…
Searching for additional structure and redshift evolution in the observed binary black hole population with a parametric time-dependent mass distribution
Vasco Gennari, Simone Mastrogiovanni, Nicola Tamanini +2
The population of the observed gravitational wave events encodes unique information on the formation and evolution of stellar-mass black holes, from the underlying astrophysical pr…
Limits on the existence of totally reflective exotic compact objects with current and future gravitational-wave detectors
Simone Mastrogiovanni, Elisa Maggio, Adriano Frattale Mascioli
Exotic compact objects (ECOs) are a theorized class of compact objects that solve the paradoxes of black holes by replacing the event horizon with a physical surface located at $r=…
