Are long gamma-ray bursts progenitors to merging binary black holes?
Tom Y. Wu, Maya Fishbach
The distribution of delay times between the formation of binary black hole (BBH) progenitors and their gravitational-wave (GW) merger provides important clues about their unknown f…
Things that might go bump in the night: Assessing structure in the binary black hole mass spectrum
Amanda M. Farah, Bruce Edelman, Michael Zevin +4
Several features in the mass spectrum of merging binary black holes (BBHs) have been identified using data from the Third Gravitational Wave Transient Catalog (GWTC-3). These featu…
Compact binary coalescences: gravitational-wave astronomy with ground-based detectors
K. Chatziioannou, T. Dent, M. Fishbach +4
The era of gravitational wave astronomy began in 2015 with the observation of the signal from the merger of two black holes by the LIGO detectors; by 2021, almost 100 more such tra…
Two of a Kind: Comparing big and small black holes in binaries with gravitational waves
Amanda M. Farah, Maya Fishbach, Daniel E. Holz
When modeling the population of merging binary black holes, analyses have generally focused on characterizing the distribution of primary (i.e. more massive) black holes in the bin…
Inferring host-galaxy properties of LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA's black holes
Aditya Vijaykumar, Maya Fishbach, Susmita Adhikari +1
Observations of gravitational waves from binary black hole (BBH) mergers have measured the redshift evolution of the BBH merger rate. The number density of galaxies in the Universe…
Observation of Gravitational Waves from the Coalescence of a Compact Object and a Neutron Star
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1793
We report the observation of a coalescing compact binary with component masses and (all measurements quoted at the 90% credible le…
